Goodwill City Lyrics

He was a preacher in the village
She was a teacher in the town
Into the city went all their little babies
To rip up the walls
And tear the ceiling down
In Goodwill City
The nights are long
In Goodwill City
We know no wrong

We were the first to embrace the virus
We'll be the first to hit the ground
For all us lucky sixties babies
They'll shore up the walls
And nail the ceiling down

In Goodwill City
From the sidewalks
They bring the virus
Into all walks

Here come the funeral cars
Here come the funeral cars
Numbers up
The smokers have gone
The drinkers have gone
Only the macrobiotics live on
Down, they'll put us down
Bring us down
Nail us down
Mail us out
To an oil rig
Going down to an oil rig
Sailing out to an oil rig
Moving out to an oil rig
Goodwill City
We're from Goodwill City
It's an international Goodwill City
I used to love her
And love her
And love her
But it's all over now
Yeah, it's all over now
It's all over now
Found a new place to dwell
I came for a piece of the action
I came for a taste of the freedom
I came for satisfaction
But its all over now
Yeah, it's all over now
Johnny, Johnny
Tracey, Tracey
I said I'm no toy
I'm your twenty-first century boy
