Whirlwind Lyrics - Rancid (1993) - Rancid

every city got an artery where the blood 

breaks down an avenue or a boulevard 

and a boy who wears a crown 

indigant live styles mplies simply lack of means 

dogmatical authoritarians dictate the cities remains 

a promise to go to heaven wont put salvation 

in sight 

Whirlwind is coming down on me 

when the factory shut down so did the place 

he lived blood money for junk bonds by a 

white collar fugitive 

all the tax free insentives ain't going to 

help him now 

generations of job security gone out 

like the horse and plow 

a promise to go to heaven wont put salvation 

in sight 

Whirlwind is coming down on me 

my old man worked his troubled life 

in a nowhere dead end he drank 

the pain away i'll be damned if thats 

me having my dreams robed 

the working class carries a country 

that has been rotting inside for years 

the rigs cuffed my old man in the front 

yard i saw through my eyes of tears 

a promise to go to heaven wont put salvation 

in sight 

Whirlwind is coming down on me
