Well this town’s gone crazy Where they talk about love It seems they’ve gotten lazy Answers just ‘all the above’ There is no restitution No effort to find what they have lost Only desiring tainted solutions To avoid the actual cost Oh, you can almost hear them Their silent screams coming through How can our Father forgive us When we’ve never been introduced? Will somebody tell them? There is a love burning in the dark A love that’s like no other Saying, ‘come as you are’ This town needs a hero But will they welcome Him? That in hope is less than zero It’s just another day in Desperationville No one answers to no one Or so their stubborn minds think This town’s just a loaded gun Bang! Before I can blink Everyone’s pointing fingers ‘Don’t look at me if it goes wrong’ They’re all heartbroken singers Singing the same old sad songs Oh, you can almost hear them Their silent screams coming through How can our Father forgive us When we’ve never been introduced? This town needs a hero But will they welcome Him? That in hope is less than zero It’s just another day in Desperationville Somebody tell them There is a love burning in the dark A love that’s like no other Saying, ‘come as you are’ in Desperationville In Desperationville Welcome to, to Desperationville
