Austin is the greatest town
When the telephone lines are down
It's the American dream
Get wasted and boo the visiting team
Alex Jones predicts troubled times
The street preachers are laying down rhymes
Plenty of sights to see
Like a Luddite camping in the Gigafactory
Wannabe jokesters come and go
Dreaming of a spot on Joe Rogan's show
An indie rocker plays the blues
To get money for new shoes
Or maybe a new guitar
She's gonna be a star

A homeless man rubs his arm in pain
So cynical, standing out in the rain
A maniac driver grips his bullhorn tight
"You can flip me off but I'm right!"
A stranger stands atop the clock tower
As we're reaching the twelfth hour
Explosions in the sky
College kids screaming "Free Palestine!"
There's massive crack in Mansfield dam
The flood washes away a bull, a ram, and a lamb
Things just get weirder
A turtle pond with a bird feeder
An overcrowded Greyhound station
Austifornication

It's always been this way
Are you comin' back home to stay?
An urban cowboy clutches his gun
At the bonfire below the setting sun
This hot and humid day is done
Are ya really havin' fun?
