lyrics

We got a strip runnin' right to the interstate now
Cruise down the road, they got everything that you need
a couple o' 7-11s
and a Kroger grocery store
We got a new Home Depot, all the chains you're looking for
the familiar names, every town's the same
like Dominos, notice something lame ?

We all live in Walmartville
one exit down from Taco Bell
Live in the US
stay close to the nest
and yes we lost our culture

We got 16 films in the multiplex now
and the closest thing to town square is the local mall.
The kids wanna go to McDonalds, cause they brainwash them I think
or does it have to do with all that sugar in the Super Size drink ?
We got KFC, we got Texaco
Blue Light Specials and HBO

We all live in Walmartville
We get all our news on the cable now
Our debts are large
Our cellphones are charged
and big business owns our country

and the radio is all formats
you won't hear any good songs on that

We all live in Walmartville
and most of us think our towns are swell
The weekend will come
We'll rock and then some
More power to the indies..

We got GI Joe takin' on the sniper
and we just signed over our house to this guy, Bill Gates
but we get to go out to Hooters
and it's not for the chicken wings
We got SUVs, you know we'll run over anything

Mom and Pop closed down
Another chain arrives
and this has been happenin' all our lives

We all live in Walmartville
Drive down the road and see the sights
But don't reminisce
cause there's something amiss
it's this, our Walmart culture

We all live in Walmartville
one exit down from Taco Bell
Live in the US
We settle for less
and I guess we lost our culture

We all live in Walmartville

Is he the last rock hope?

Father Time had more #1 songs in rock and alternative than any other artist at the original mp3.com, the alltime indie mecca.

Father Time is a legend - Phil Frazier

If anyone combines the spirit of Evel Knievel with Dylan, Johnny Rotten and Neil Young, it's Scott. If anyone is close to being the Internet Dylan, FT is the one.- Flametop Fred ... more
