Intro/Verse: G (alternate 320003 320033)

In a town without a name
There is no shame, no fame to claim
One fine day the pilgrims came
And made new rules for an old game

Chorus
F                                   G
And I'm waiting for the garbage man to take you away
F                                   G
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 paved 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

Break
G              C              F
From out of the dust came corrosion and rust
F              C       G
That made you look so cheap
G              C              F
There's nothing to have here and nothing to hold here
F              C       G
And nothing that you can keep

C                     G
Now understand this is no man's land
        D                     G
And it's all that's left that's free
C                            G
Where the kings of nothing rule, my friend
        D              G
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 crumbling 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've 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 coming to slap you around

Break
