about

Music/Lyrics: John R. Kelley

lyrics

Snow melts in the gutter A little less than before
the same place we all started always hoped for something more
The streets smell like oil and the shops are closed down
the damage is done to the good and the bad parts of town

When your hope’s all burned to the ground
Who's surviving in Calamity town?
Feels the same if you float or drown
It’s down to luck in Calamity Town

You can’t drive around even look someone in the eye
Someone always brings a gun the fear is hard to describe
No innocence here, no lives too cheap to shut down
still a target for every calamity that goes down

It always starts with an insult nothing more or less
Personality dramas another full court mess
Hate’s latest victim and they’ll be plenty more
Never just rains until the sky opens up it’s doors
