Brute Force and
Ignorance
just hit town
Looking like survivors
from the Lost and Found
Brute Force and
Ignorance
have come to play
A one-night stand
at eight o'clock
then they'll be
on their way
This old town's exploding
and the mayor's uptight
He'd like to make it
to the show
but he knows
it's not his night
He's got to be beholding
to his legal spouse
but she's put the
thumbscrews on him
And snuck out
of the house
there she goes
The picture on the poster
raised an eyebrow or two
At fifty-five to seven
Lord, you should've
seen the queue
City slick and country hick
they came one and all
The traffic-light girl
and the down-home kids
assembled in the hall
Brute Force and
Ignorance
yes, that's the name
The young folks
gonna miss them
now they've gone away
Well, the show
got so crazy
today they took
the billboard down
I'll never forget
the scene last night
when the band was
escorted out of town
This little town's back
in slow motion
I'm sad to say
After the confusion
it'll never be the same
Well, I took a walk down
Main Street
just to pass the time
And I still could hear
that music
rolling through my
mi-mi-mind
Brute Force and
Ignorance
they sure hit town
And if you want to
find them, buddy
they're down at the
Lost and F-F-F-F-Found
