Lake Superior Songtext

von The Arcs

On a stretch of sand, sweet northern breeze Manitowoc put Avery on the beach
Your alibi, will never do when the whole town's got it out for you

Judge fox, the Great Lake stain got Superior wanting to pull its own drain
To abandon the shore, where the poor get whipped and the fat get fatter and the rich stay rich

Where the mice of men are chained and bruised
Where to stand accused is to admit you lose

I wanna know people outdoor in't gonna go out and act insane
My baby girl out in a world all alone burns a hole in my brain
I wanna know people outdoor in't gonna go out and act insane
My baby boy, pride and joy, he's gonna go out and do the same

In the hall of harm disgraceful sounds Manitowoc knows how to gavel pound
They crack it right and shoot on site
Do you know where your baby is tonight?

The red tide is back again
Old Superior's new McCarthy clan back on the shore, where the poor get whipped

And the fat get fatter and the rich stay rich
Where the mice of men are chained and bruised
Where to stand accused is to admit you lose

I wanna know people outdoor in't gonna go out and act insane
My baby girl out in a world all alone burns a hole in my brain
I wanna know people outdoor in't gonna go out and act insane
My baby boy, pride and joy, he's gonna go out and do the same
