Chorus
And I'm waiting for the garbage man to take you away
And I'm searching for my playground so I can go and play
So they built a big smoke stack
They built a railroad track, they paved the dirt roads black
And they did it behind your back
And now you pay their tax, hoping something cracks
And I'm waiting for the garbage man to take you away
And I'm searching for my playground so I can go and play
Break
From out of the dust came corrosion and rust
That made you look so cheap
There's nothing to have here and nothing to hold here
And nothing that you can keep
Now understand this is no man's land
And it's all that's left that's free
Where the kings of nothing rule, my friend
And you can't make me leave
There's a billboard in the sky
Reflecting water in your eyes
This big city, this ghost town
Will come crumbling to the ground
And I'm waiting for the hurricane to blow you away
And I'm searching for my twister to twist you into shape
Now my speech is said and done
The circus came, I've had my fun
And the wasteland has been won
And the building has begun
And I'm waiting for the earthquake to shake you down
And I see my mother nature coming to slap you around
