Brute Force And Ignorance Lyrics - Photo Finish - Rory Gallagher

Brute Force and Ignorance, 

Just hit town, 

Looking like survivors, 

From the Lost and Found. 

Brute Force and Ignorance, 

Have come to play, 

A one-night stand at eight o`clock, 

Then they`ll be on their way. 

This old town`s exploding, 

And the mayor`s uptight, 

He`d like to make it to the show, 

But he knows it`s not his night. 

He`s got to be beholding, 

To his legal spouse, 

But she`s put the thumbscrews on him, 

And snuck out of the house. 

There she goes. 

The picture on the poster, 

Raised an eyebrow or two, 

At fifty-five to seven, 

Lord, you should`ve seen the queue. 

City slick and country hick, 

They came one and all, 

The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids, 

Assembled in the hall. 

Brute Force and Ignorance, 

Yes, that`s the name, 

The young folks gonna miss them, 

Now they`ve gone away. 

Well, the show got so crazy, 

Today they took the billboard down, 

I`ll never forget the scene last night, 

When the band was escorted out of town. 

This little town`s back in slow motion, 

I`m sad to say, 

After the confusion, 

It`ll never be the same. 

Well, I took a walk down Main Street, 

Just to pass the time, 

And I could hear that music, 

Still rolling through my mind. 

Brute Force and Ignorance, 

They sure hit town, 

And if you want to find them, buddy, 

They`re down at the Lost and Found.
