No Mans Land — текст песни (Joel Billy)

Ive seen those big machines come rolling through the quiet pines

Blue suits and bankers with their volvos and their valentines

Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise

Raise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice

Now were gonna get the big business

Now were gonna get the real thing

Everybodys all excited about it



Who remembers when it all began

Out here in no mans land

Before they passed the master plan

Out here in no mans land

Low supply and high demand

Here in no mans land



There aint much work out here in our consumer power base

No major industry, just miles and miles of parking space

This mornings paper says our neighbors in a cocaine bust

Lots more to read about lolita and suburban lust

Now were gonna get the whole story

Now were gonna be in prime time

Everybodys all excited about it



Who remembers when it all began

Out here in no mans land

Weve just begun to understand

Out here in no mans land

Low supply and high demand

Here in no mans land



I see these children with their boredom and their vacant stares

God help us all if were to blame for their unanswered prayers

They roll the sidewalks up at night, this place goes underground

Thanks to the condo kings theres cable now in zombietown

Now were gonna get the closed circuit

Now were gonna get the top 40

Now were gonna get the sports franchise

Now were gonna get the major attractions



Who remembers when it all began

Out here in no mans land

Before the whole world was in our hands

Out here in no mans land

Before the banners and the marching bands

Out here in no mans land

Low supply and high demand

Here in no mans land
