Artist/Band: Soul Asylum
Lyrics for Song: No Mans Land
Lyrics for Album: While You Were Out [1989]



In a town without a name

There is no shame, no blame to claim

One fine day the pilgrims came

And made new rules for an old game



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 made 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

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 crawling 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 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

Drag you around



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

It's all that's left that's free

Where the kings of nothing rule my friend

Then you can't make believe?
