Come gather ’round friendsAnd I’ll tell you a taleOf when the red iron pits ran plenty.But the cardboard filled windowsAnd old men on the benchesTell you now that the whole town is empty.

All Along The Watchtower
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,"There’s too much confusion, I can’t get no relief.Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,None of them along the line know what any of it is worth." "No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,"There are many here […]
