Cover art for These Dead Streets lyrics by A Wilhelm Scream

Actually, a lot of this, the first verse in particular, reminds me of a small-town created to get away from the huge city, but then as people from the city come in and urbanize it, it becomes uglier. Once a beautiful monument, now ruined with these corporate things. These rich citidiots (as my town refers to them), come down wanting an escape from the city, but want it both ways; they also want the comforts of easy access to all these things so they build things like corporate restaurants and such, or whatever. And the poor town is powerless to stop it, or in some cases is bribed to not stop it (whether blatantly or through "donations").
