On a stretch of sand, sweet northern breeze Manitowoc put Avery on the beach Your alibi, will never do When the whole town's got it out for you
Judge fox, the Great Lake stain Got Superior wanting to pull its own drain To abandon the shore, where the poor get whipped And the fat get fatter and the rich stay rich
Where the mice of men are chained and bruised Where to stand accused is to admit you lose
Chorus: I wanna know People outdoor Ain't gonna go out and act insane My Baby girl Out in a world All alone burns a hole in my brain I wanna know People outdoor Ain't gonna go out and act insane My baby boy Pride and joy He's gonna go out and do the same
Verse 2: In the hall of harm disgraceful sounds Manitowoc knows how to gavel pound They crack it right and shoot on site Do you know where your baby is tonite?
The red tide is back again Old Superior's new McCarthy clan Back on the shore, where the poor get whipped And the fat get fatter and the rich stay rich
Where the mice of men are chained and bruised Where to stand accused is to admit you lose
