Cesspool Ridge

from Song​-​A​-​Day by Bill White

lyrics

i was born in an oil spill
half a mile down sludge hill
i worked hard to buy a home
above the dead stink of the catacombs
but the man with a head made of garbage
took it back when i defaulted on the mortgage
now im living beneath the bridge
connecting the town with cesspool ridge

cesspool ridge
the evicted and the dispossessed
cesspool ridge
where you find the brightest and the best

globalization
is world domination
its a three way split
but you cant divide the pie
and the old neighborhood
is cesspool ridge
coming down with the sewage
because the price was too high

cesspool ridge
mass layoff at boeing
cesspool ridge
trickle-down sewage over-flowing

they will have to take down russia
and china too
and scoop up all the rest
with a silver spoon
globalization
is world domination
its a three way split
but you cant divide the pie

cesspool ridge
urban renewal
cesspool ridge
the sewer in the jewel

there are logs in the lake
how many men did it take
to get them here
from the penninsula
they were rolling slow
down skid row
like a scene
from neo realist cinema show

cesspool ridge
thats the good side of town
cesspool ridge
someday we are gonna burn it all down down
