When Margaret Comes To Town Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

When you were a kid you received no good instruction 

And your mother was never nowhere to be found 

The lies were yelled and the truth was seldom spoken 

That's what you get when Margaret comes to town 

She likes to keep things upsie down 

When Margaret comes to town 

When your thoughts are twisted and distorted 

And your children are forced to choose sides and lie down 

And the keeper is screaming drunk, running around naked 

It's for your pleasure 

When Margaret comes to town 

She likes to keep things upside down 

When Margaret comes to town 

Oh, but those who believe in her 

They cut off their noses to spite their faces 

Leaving you the little one scared and lonely 

Who really cares about you now 

So if you see her coming, man, you'd better take cover 

She stays down at the dark fend of a frown 

And just like the sirens that are so sweetly singing 

It's better just to leave 

When Margaret comes to town 

When Margaret comes to town 

She likes to keep things upside down 

When Margaret comes to town 

She likes to keep things upside down 

When Margaret comes to town
