Salton City Lyrics
I'm set up
In Salton City
Salton City
Is a waste of salt
I'm alone for now but I'm waiting on friends
And my civic duty
I got propriety and a place for this all
Sure I'm low on Plaster 'O Paris
Sure I'm low on gasoline
But I read up on Bergen-Belsen
And I read up
And I'm set up
For Deir Yassin
C'mon
Give us a kiss
Iodine/cubic tons
Alkaline
I'm having no fun
I'm the eyes, I'm the ears,
I'm the hands and the arms
Of the new Civic Guard
And I read up
And I'm set up
And you know that a man is hard to find
In Salton City
Salton City
Is a waste of salt
I'm alone for now but I'm waiting on friends
And my civic duty
I got propriety and a place for this all
Sure I'm low on Plaster 'O Paris
Sure I'm low on gasoline
But I read up on Bergen-Belsen
And I read up
And I'm set up
For Deir Yassin
Give us a kiss
Alkaline
I'm having no fun
I'm the eyes, I'm the ears,
I'm the hands and the arms
Of the new Civic Guard
And I read up
And I'm set up
And you know that a man is hard to find

The driving bassline in this song absolutely kicks my ass every time. It's a low rumble, the thunderous boom of punk being reinvented by a bunch of well-traveled musicians.
