	There's an old green shed at the end of an overgrown driveway
	And years ago that shed collapsed and fell
	Years before that there was a withered dog chained up there
	I saved him, maybe he saved me as well
	Now he's gone and
	I think I've come undone
	And it's midnight in the city of destruction
	There's music in the air and sweet abandon
	They're singin' cross the farm in the evening breeze
	But there's someone in the rows who's unwanted
	And now they've cut the faithful from the trees
	And the bulldozers move in one by one
	It's midnight in the city of destruction
	I lost my guitar, my home, my hope and my good fortune
	I lost my grandfather, two neighbors and my friend
	I pray that
	God himself will come and drown the president
	If the levees break again
	Now we're standin' at the crossroads waitin' for instruction
	And it’s midnight in the city of destruction
	There's a secret prison somewhere south of 60
	And in that secret prison there's a secret cell
	And the prisoner's bound and burned, blinded and beaten
	Still that secret prisoner keeps his secret well
	Turn out the lights 'cause for one night that's enough, son
	It's midnight in the city of destruction

	There' s an old green shed at the end of an overgrown driveway
	And years ago that shed collapsed and fell
	Years before that there was a withered dog chained up there
	I saved him, maybe he saved me as well
	Now he' s gone and
	I think I' ve come undone
	And it' s midnight in the city of destruction
	There' s music in the air and sweet abandon
	They' re singin' cross the farm in the evening breeze
	But there' s someone in the rows who' s unwanted
	And now they' ve cut the faithful from the trees
	And the bulldozers move in one by one
	It' s midnight in the city of destruction
	I lost my guitar, my home, my hope and my good fortune
	I lost my grandfather, two neighbors and my friend
	I pray that
	God himself will come and drown the president
	If the levees break again
	Now we' re standin' at the crossroads waitin' for instruction
	And it' s midnight in the city of destruction
	There' s a secret prison somewhere south of 60
	And in that secret prison there' s a secret cell
	And the prisoner' s bound and burned, blinded and beaten
	Still that secret prisoner keeps his secret well
	Turn out the lights ' cause for one night that' s enough, son
	It' s midnight in the city of destruction

	There' s an old green shed at the end of an overgrown driveway
	And years ago that shed collapsed and fell
	Years before that there was a withered dog chained up there
	I saved him, maybe he saved me as well
	Now he' s gone and
	I think I' ve come undone
	And it' s midnight in the city of destruction
	There' s music in the air and sweet abandon

	And now they' ve cut the faithful from the trees
