Murder Town, USA

They say he came from Fourth Street
Now the whole block's locked down
His shots drew the city's heat
You just can't shake that sound

And I was living on Scott
Out on the porch I stood
The police brought all they got
Dogs would have caught if they could

Stay indoors, kiss your floors, call your parents back
Fear for more, close the stores, smoke another pack
Murder Town, learn the sound, yeah life here is so cheap
Wilmington, Delaware, life here makes me weep

In the alley cops stood guard
Helicopters overhead
Loaded guns cross our yard
Have they lost the thread

Next day I turn on the news
Unsure of what I'd seen
They say he's still on the loose
A short kid, age fifteen

Stay indoors, kiss your floors, and call your parents back
Fear for more, blame the poor, and smoke another pack
Murder Town, well it gets you down 'cause life here is so cheap
Wilmington, Delaware, life here cannot keep

Stay indoors, kiss your floors, and call your parents back
Fear for more, blame the poor, and smoke another pack
Murder Town, well it gets you down 'cause life here is so cheap
Wilmington, Delaware, life here cannot keep
