Polluted fuckin shithole, it's the home of early graves
Layers of decay depresses all who dare to stay
Doesn't matter where you are as long as you can breathe
You'll suck in an early death as poison lurks beneath
Far too many that I knew have left us way too soon
Early exit and for what, let alone for who?
Simple honest people only trying to make a go
Try to build a life beside the poison river flow
The whistle is blowing
The acid is falling
Burn down the chemical town
Surrounded by the factories that kept the town afloat
A toxic mix of sludge and waste created long ago
It's called the smell of money, the locals always said
Problem is before too long those locals all were dead
How can you expect to build a future on that soil
How can you expect to build a future on that land
I've got a great solution, a basic, simple plan
Start with fire then salt the earth and never build again
The whistle is blowing
The acid is falling
Once I had to make a choice to throw it all away
To leave the only world I knew and start again today
I didn't fucking hesitate, I dropped it all and left
Best decision ever made, and never with regret
Far too many that I knew have left us way too soon
Early exit and for what, let alone for who?
Simple honest people only trying to make a go
Try to build a life beside the poison river flow
