Rory Gallagher - Brute Force & Ignorance lyrics

Brute Force and Ignorance, Just hit town, Looking like survivors, From the Lost and Found. Brute Force and Ignorance, Have come to play, A one-night stand at eight o`clock, Then they`ll be on their way. This old town`s exploding, And the mayor`s uptight, He`d like to make it to the show, But he knows it`s not his night. He`s got to be beholding, To his legal spouse, But she`s put the thumbscrews on him, And snuck out of the house. There she goes. The picture on the poster, Raised an eyebrow or two, At fifty-five to seven, Lord, you should`ve seen the queue. City slick and country hick, They came one and all, The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids, Assembled in the hall. Brute Force and Ignorance, Yes, that`s the name, The young folks gonna miss them, Now they`ve gone away. Well, the show got so crazy, Today they took the billboard down, I`ll never forget the scene last night, When the band was escorted out of town. This little town`s back in slow motion, I`m sad to say, After the confusion, It`ll never be the same. Well, I took a walk down Main Street, Just to pa** the time, And I could hear that music, Still rolling through my mind. Brute Force and Ignorance, They sure hit town, And if you want to find them, buddy, They`re down at the Lost and Found.
