Corndog

All of a sudden
Smoke in the hills
Grinding machine
Crisp dollar bills
A newcomer old
With a gamey mean smile
He slapped down a steak
He put corn out of style

He took it all away (took it all away)
He took everything he had (everything he had)
His life’s gone to shit (his life's gone)

Ooh-ooh

He could short the boy’s stay (he'd short the boy's stay)
He took every last thing he had (he took every last thing he had)
His world’s gone missing (his world)

Ooh-ooh

Up from the ashes
Came a dark gray dawn
The roots couldn't see
That the earth's locks were gone
The farmer’s eyes opened
He swallowed his pride
Threw on his work boots
And dove in the tide

He took it all away (took it all away)
He took everything he had (took everything he had)
His world's gone missing (his world’s gone missing)

Ooh-ooh

He could short the boy's stay (he’d short the boy's stay)
He took every last thing he had (he took every last thing he had)
His world's gone missing (his world’s gone missing)

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

He took it all away (he took it all away)
He took everything he had (everything he had)
His life’s gone to shit (his life's gone to shit)

Ooh-ooh

He could short the boy’s stay (he'd short the boy’s stay)
He took every last thing he had (every last thing he had)
His world's gone missing (His world’s gone missing)

Ooh-ooh
