lyrics

half a dime gets you half the time
in this half ton town with no open sign
on one side it’s black and white
on the other side a grey shade of ice
there’s a new heartache on every down beat
the sound of love to the shuffling of feet
heaven above is never out of reach
there’s the same blue sky scratching every street
deceived by gasoline, deceived by gasoline
built a pipeline to carry the crude
there was so much work they closed down the school
the union moved in just to pick up the dues
the crack dealers on the corner now deliver the news
the government claimed it was win win win
the wells ran dry cause the water got thin
everyone’s leaving with a cardboard box
everyday there’s a new pawn shop
deceived by gasoline, deceived by gasoline
took their problems turned them all into dreams
built a bonfire struck a match and threw on
gasoline, gasoline, gasoline
you follow the map to the end of the road
but the world doesn’t stop where the cars can’t go
it’s a global village that time forgot
maybe they’re better off not knowing a lot
everyone is packing heat
they’re dumping bodies from an SUV
it’s like living in a graveyard shift
if you wanna keep your life you got to keep your wits
deceived by gasoline, deceived by gasoline
