Allegheny Lullabye

Slack your rope coil it around
This here town's just like a hanging ground
It's factory gas station or join
It's a chain link prison with a tangling wire
And you gonna get cut 'cause you can't climb any higher
Factory gas station or join

Oh but I got dreams of a different plan crossing the river to the promised land
I wanna go down in flames with my sweet Janie try to get the hell out of Allegheny
With a hand on the bottle and one on the wheel won't be a slave to the iron and steel
Damned whichever way I'm going my fate on the flip of a coin
It's factory gas station or join

Whole county wide is a cut speed trap
It's a half inch of water and a Quikrete sack
Factory gas station or join
Got your back in the corner feel the urge to kill
When the light in the tunnel looks like a little white pill
Factory gas station or join

But I got dreams of a different plan crossing the river to the promised land
I wanna go down in flames with my sweet Janie try get the hell out of Allegheny
With a hand on the bottle and one on the wheel won't be slave to the iron and steel
Damned whichever way I'm going my fate on the flip of a coin
It's factory gas station or join

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la li
Hush little baby don't you cry

So pick your uniform but choose it well
Prepare thyself your soul to sell
Factory gas station or join

But I got dreams of a different plan I'm going down the river gonna wash my hands
Me and Janie gonna come out clean not smelling like smoke and gasoline
With a hand on the bottle and one on the wheel won't be slave to the iron and steel
The choices are no choice at all just the flipping of a coin
It's factory gas station or join
But I won't choose no factory and I won't work no station and I sure as hell won't join
