Ten cents

 It was a ten cent city

Hell bent on destruction

The lip of the pin down alls the hair

It was a tent city

A city of resurrection

And skirts that lifted churches

Up from the shadows of dispair


It was a pauper's paradise

A gold digger's salvation

At the corporate price

Of little sanitation

And they sold their wares

Just as long as their stares

On a field of nothing

And a hiding to nowhere
