Street Dogs Lyrics
Portland Lyrics
The budget is busting,
the purse strings are shut,
furloguhs are coming,
the town will go nuts
Prisoners let go,
psych patients set free
You ask at the town hall
"what does this all mean?"
crime starts to spike up,
cops overtime,
MH workers are
all on their standbys,
There is no money
what the hell shall we do?
No one knows [x3]
They're going wild in Portland,
there's no money left in town,
They're going wild in Portland,
hope they don't burn her down
The papers are heated,
that mayor besieged,
the senate is pleading,
the guv is displeased,
public safety is
turned up on it's head.
homicide numbers
are now in the red
hospitals, they too
are feeling the bite
the er's are packed
up on every night
there is no money
what the hell shall we do?
No one knows [x3]
They're going wild in Portland,
there's no money left in town,
They're going wild in Portland,
hope they don't burn her down
This is all around the USA,
We see it in the news they play,
we just happen to be in Portland today
Wild in Portland
These topics aren't popular
but they're in your face,
we need another bailout,
to save this place
Wild in Portland
