Lyrics

[00:22.81] Brute Force and Ignorance
[00:25.24] Just hit town
[00:27.82] Looking like survivors
[00:30.45] From the Lost and Found.
[00:33.47] Brute Force and Ignorance
[00:35.83] Have come to play
[00:38.72] A one-night stand at eight o'clock
[00:41.73] Then they'll be on their way.
[00:44.43] This old town's exploding
[00:46.69] And the mayor's uptight
[00:49.71] He'd like to make it to the show
[00:52.21] But he knows it's not his night.
[00:54.82] He's got to be beholding
[00:57.77] To his legal spouse
[01:00.33] But she's put the thumbscrews on him
[01:02.95] And snuck out of the house.
[01:05.20] There she goes.
[01:06.38]
[01:27.74] The picture on the poster
[01:29.55] Raised an eyebrow or two
[01:32.42] At fifty-five to seven
[01:34.82] Lord you should've seen the queue.
[01:37.88] City slick and country hick
[01:40.70] They came one and all
[01:43.28] The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids
[01:45.79] Assembled in the hall.
[01:51.78] Brute Force and Ignorance
[01:53.90] Yes that's the name
[01:57.08] The young folks gonna miss them
[01:59.51] Now they've gone away.
[02:02.27] Well the show got so crazy
[02:04.57] Today they took the billboard down
[02:07.56] I'll never forget the scene last night
[02:10.06] When the band was escorted out of town.
[02:12.75] This little town's back in slow motion
[02:15.37] I'm sad to say
[02:18.17] After the confusion
[02:20.69] It'll never be the same.
[02:23.49] Well I took a walk down Main Street
[02:26.30] Just to pass the time
[02:28.94] And I could hear that music
[02:31.74] Still rolling through my mind.
[02:34.68] Brute Force and Ignorance
[02:36.69] They sure hit town
[02:39.37] And if you want to find them buddy
[02:41.94] They're down at the Lost and Found.
