Down In This Hole

Nothing lasts forever in a God forsaken town
 The pocket books are empty 'cause the priest is back in town
 He's givin' all his dollars to the girls who work the square
 Who never get a dime and then there's murder in the air
 Never get a dime and then there's murder in the air
 The cops all know who did it but they don't even care
 They'll never lift a finger
 They'll never spend a dime
 They laughed at twenty strangers who they fingered for the crime
 Way down
 Way down in this hole
 Way down
 Way down in this hole
 Nothing lasts forever in a God forsaken town
 The kid's are smokin' soon as they can walk across the ground
 They all meet up at midnight takin' rides into the well
 And dancin' while the devil taps his dirty finger nail
 Dancin' while the devil taps his dirty finger nail
 The innocent and kind are rounded up and thrown in jail
 You never find a hero just dirty souvenir
 For the old and broken angels are the ones that buy you here
 Way down
 Way down in this hole
 Way down
 Way down in this hole
 Well you can cut your teeth on the sixteen former years
 And the blood it just rolled down your cheeks like tears
 You can hang your head when your death letter nears
 And the blood it just rolled down your cheeks like tears
 Nothing lasts forever in a God forsaken town
 The judges all been put away
 The criminals been crowned
 Thousand guilty innocents that fill the prison walls
 The chorus and the voices when they echo down the hall
 Singing:
 Way down
 Way down in this hole
 Way down
 Way down in this hole
 Way down
 Way down in this hole
 Way down
 Way down in this hole
