Sin City
µÂ»³ÌØ.ÓÈ¿ÏÄ·(Dwight Yoakam) Lyrics

This old town is filled with sin it swallow you in if you've got some money to burn
The city is engulfed in immoral behavior and indulging in it traps and consumes you if you have the financial means to partake in it.

Take it home right away you've got three years to pay and Satan is waiting his turn
If you buy into the sin, you have a limited time to pay it off but eventually the devil will take his due.

The scientist say it'll all wash away but we don't believe anymore
Despite the experts saying it will all come to an end, people have lost faith in that idea.

Cause we've got our recruits in their green mohair suits
People have become followers of the sin and are now dressed in fashionable clothes to show their allegiance.

So please show your I'd at the door
Verification is needed to enter the den of sin.

This old earthquaker's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
The city's destructive ways will ultimately lead to financial ruin for some.

It seems like this whole town's insane
The widespread embrace of immoral behavior makes it seem as though the entire city has lost its mind.

On the 31th floor your gold plated door won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
Even those with wealth and status won't escape divine retribution for their sinful ways.

A fool came around tried to clean up this town his ideas made some people mad
An individual attempted to bring morality to the city, but many were angered by his efforts.

But he trusted in his crowd so he spoke out right loud
Despite opposition, he relied on his supporters and spoke up for his beliefs.

And they lost the best friend they ever had
Tragically, his supporters lost a valuable ally when he was killed for his attempts to bring change to the city.
