Iris DeMent
New Damnation Alley
Bloody curtains in Plymouth
Dried out in St. John's
Making a living
On a whim outta town
Feeling my age
Feeling cynical and wrong
Too scared to believe
I belong anymore
Jude's rolling in the evening
Not a crumb for a bum
You can bet your bottom dollar
One day he gonna run
Billionaire barbarians
Old cut throat history breeds
Old money drags a poor man down
The new damnation alley
The new damnation alley
The truth takes a beating
Like a whipping boy screams
Rich guys smiling
For the Kings and Queens
Limousine liars
Clipper ships for slaves
Street to street
Shore to shore
Billionaire barbarians
Old cut throat history breeds
Old money drags a poor man down
The new damnation alley
The new damnation alley
Coast to coast
Now face to face
See the lovely children
Tore up inside
Stories tell the times
Of the names and graves
Covered up by the love
We forgot to save
Billionaire barbarians
Old cut throat history breeds
Old money drags a poor man down
The new damnation alley
The new damnation alley
Billionaire barbarians
Old cut throat history breeds
Old money drags a poor man down
The new damnation alley
The new damnation alley
