Strum
D-DU-UDU
And  I'm waiting for the garbage man to  take you away
And  I'm searching for my playground so  I can go and play
 So they built a big smoke stack
 They built a railroad track, they paved the dirt roads black
 And they did it behind your back
 And now you pay their tax, hoping something cracks
 And I'm waiting for the garbage man to take you away
 And I'm searching for my playground so I can go and play
From  out of the  dust came corrosion  and rust
That  made you look  so cheap
There's  nothing  to have here and  nothing to hold here
And  nothing that  you can  keep
Now  understand this is  no man's land
 And it's  all that's left that's  free
Where  the kings of nothing rule,  my friend
 And you can't  make me leave
 There's a billboard in the sky
 Reflecting water in your eyes
 This big city, this ghost town
 Will come crumbling to the ground
 And I'm waiting for the hurricane to blow you away
 And I'm searching for my twister to twist you into shape
 Now my speech is said and done
 The circus came, I've had my fun
 And the wasteland has been won
 And the building has begun
 And I'm waiting for the earthquake to shake you down
 And I see my mother nature coming to slap you around

There's a billboard in the sky
Reflecting water in your eyes
This big city, this ghost town

Now my speech is said and done
The circus came, I've had my fun
And the wasteland has been won
And the building has begun

And I'm waiting for the earthquake to shake you down
And I see my mother nature coming to slap you around
