Bummed Out City

Joe Strummer · Global A Go-Go [2001]

It was me, drove off the off ramp



Of the sweetheart highway



It was me, I admit, I had the map



This is what I gotta say



We're in Bummed Out City



That's what the sign says



I plead your mercy and your pity



Is not life a mirror maze?



The hardware store is never open



Until the quarter of the moon



Let's leave town before the rodeo



Rides in with the typhoon



We're in Bummed Out City



So come on, let's operate



Let's open a disc brake parlor



No, it never is too late



Before you know you'll be in Bummed Out City



In a cloud of dust and rust



And all the dogs biting on your exhaust pipe



Even they gonna show you trust



And it was me, drove off the off ramp



Of the sweetheart highway



It was me, I admit I had the map



This is what I gotta say



We're in Bummed Out City



That's what the sign says



I plead your mercy and your pity



Is not life a mirror maze?



We're in Bummed Out City



That's what the sign says



I plead your mercy and your pity



Is not life a mirror maze?



We're in Bummed Out City



That's what the sign says



I plead your mercy and your pity



Is not life a mirror maze?



We're in Bummed Out City



I plead your mercy and your pity



Is not life a mirror maze?
