Hate Lives In A Small Town

Well if you're headin' down the highway Down about Route 10 Get off on the last exit and take it around the bend You'll find a small town, but dont go hangin' around Cause hate lives in small town, least that's what i have found The mom's are in the kitchens, and they're bakin' pies They smell so good they're made to cover up the smells of lies They're in a small town, but pies don't cure all ills Cause hate lives in a small town, that's why those moms take pills Well i went to the big city and everyone was wearing black If they saw that in my hometown they wouldn't stand for that I saw kids all covered in Tatoos, with Mohawks and purple hair But what really struck me..was no one seemed to care The Knights they beat the Badgers when they played down in the square But they saved the biggest beating for a kid with longish hair They're in a small town, that kid was me one year Cause Hate lives in a Small Town, moreso if you seem queer The Pastor's in the pulpit, preaching rightous lies And the congregation they dont know he slept with all their wives They're in a small town, and it's so clear to see That hate lives in a small town, as does adultery Well i went to the big city, with my clothes in a pack When i got off at the station there was no turning back I met freaks and creeps and wierdos, loose women, and some geeks But they were the nices gosh darn/fucking people, i'd ever hope to meet When you're heading to a small town, they're as nice as can be But then at night they put on sheets and hang your sad ass from a tree! They're in a small town, dont dare be different Cause hate lives in a small town, unless you're just like them So if you're living in a small town and you feel you're in a vice Buy yourself a ticket kid, hell just take my advice And elave that small town, be quick as you can be Get out of that small town and you'll be free like me!
