Portland

The budget is busting,

the purse strings are shut,

furloguhs are coming,

the town will go nuts

Prisoners let go,

psych patients set free

You ask at the town hall

"what does this all mean?"

crime starts to spike up,

cops overtime,

MH workers are

all on their standbys,

There is no money

what the hell shall we do?

No one knows

No one knows

No one knows

They're going wild in Portland,

there's no money left in town,

They're going wild in Portland,

hope they don't burn her down

The papers are heated,

that mayor besieged,

the senate is pleading,

the guv is displeased,

public safety is

turned up on it's head.

homicide numbers

are now in the red

hospitals, they too

are feeling the bite

the er's are packed

up on every night

there is no money

what the hell shall we do?

No one knows

No one knows

No one knows

They're going wild in Portland,

there's no money left in town,

They're going wild in Portland,

hope they don't burn her down

This is all around the USA,

We see it in the news they play,

we just happen to be in Portland today

Wild in Portland

These topics aren't popular

but they're in your face,

we need another bailout,

to save this place

Wild in Portland
