I gave myself to Jesus
For all the things that I did see
The greed of man I don’t understand
And you just let that be
The last shift rang and we all sang
Which side are you on
The boss came down to our ground
Said sorry its all gone
So I bought her pretty flowers
when I was coming home
Took a lasting look around
At the life that I had known
I will not miss my Chevy
Or my sixty inch TV
Just the the pride in what I thought I had
Would be forever part of me
You can take this ghost town
All the lying and deceit
It’s just the place for you right now
So won’t you come and see
Come and see
You drove a stake into our heart
Now it will not make a sound
But the bottom line is doing fine
So you don’t worry about this town
I hear them toasting out your name
A hero of our time
But somehow I just hope
You never taste what’s mine
Now I’m sorry for the dust and rubble
Left here in this place
But what did you expect would come
When you closed the factory gate
Now the roads are cracked and the pipes have burst
But we’re fighting for some change
Still the corporations write the law
And things just stay the same
You can take this ghost town
all the lying and deceit
It’s just the place for you right now
So won’t you come and see
Come and see
The scratches on the wall
They tell a sorrow tale
Of the empty faces left behind
That were longing to take sail
But it’s vacant lots and sleeping cots
That all that’s left for us
Cause the rally in your market
Well it turned our dreams to dust
I dream of rivers flowing
And a sky thats ever blue
And a flag that may yet wave
Have some meaning for the youth
For America to keeps its soul
Would you lend a hand
Or will it be the moneyed eye
That gives the last command
You can take this ghost town
all the lying and deceit
It’s just the place for you right now
So won’t you come and see
Come and see
You can take this ghost town
You’re nothing more than thieves
Stripped of all, and left for dead
There is nothing more to bleed
Nothing left to bleed
