The Walkabouts - The Dustlands lyrics

When I reach the river towns Dustlands call Telling me to turn around Before I've lost it all What's been promised true and grand Is out there in the sand Dustlands call You don't have to search for it And it don't give a sh** And when I'm back home with you Dustlands gone I put on a stranger's smile But it feels dead wrong And if you ask me who I am I'll tell you where I've been Dustlands gone A land not down on any map Such places never last Dustlands gone Unto this land a law was laid And dustlands burned High and low the bourgeoisie came Their greed absurd There are so many types of thirst Some that warn and some that curse Dustlands burn And though I was forced to flee It's true I once ran free Dustlands call
