Sauget Wind Lyrics
It's a long way to heaven
It's a short way to hell
Painkillers won't help
When the weight's not yourself
They're poisoning the air
For personal wealth
It's a long way to heaven
It's a short way to hell
I don't know what I'm breathing for
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
The weatherman says "fair"
But he looks like a lie
Nothing's free in this country
And there's no place to hide....no more
Industrial wind
It blows from the west
It'll burn out your eyes
And suck out your breath
It's waiting in the wings
For damage down the line
Save your tears for the soaps
Leave your money behind
I don't know what I'm breathing for
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
The weatherman says "fair"
But he looks like a lie
Nothing's free in this country
And there's no place to hide no more
No place to hide....no more
It's a short way to hell
Painkillers won't help
When the weight's not yourself
They're poisoning the air
For personal wealth
It's a long way to heaven
It's a short way to hell
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
The weatherman says "fair"
But he looks like a lie
Nothing's free in this country
And there's no place to hide....no more
It blows from the west
It'll burn out your eyes
And suck out your breath
It's waiting in the wings
For damage down the line
Save your tears for the soaps
Leave your money behind
'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore
The weatherman says "fair"
But he looks like a lie
Nothing's free in this country
And there's no place to hide no more
No place to hide....no more

this town, sauget illinois, is right by belleville, where jay anf jef grew up. i live in edwardsville which is 15 miles away. sauget is a corrupt ass town where the mayor, Rich Sauget does whatever he wants. chemical plants like cerro copper and others pollute like crazy. theres strip clubs like pt's and oz and lots of drugs and the casino queen is like 5 minutes away. its basically east st louis. they write lots of stuff about the belleville area. so if you know the place, you know the story.
