Lyrics
Wild West town with muddy roads
Eighteen ninety two
Shady undertaker vows
To get the best of you
Tricking mourners, scamming families
This will never do
Wild West town with muddy roads
Eighteen ninety two
(chorus)
Tarred and feathered, shackled severed
Scorned and ridiculed
Torn and weathered, shattered tethered
Feeling miniscule
Run from town a beaten clown
His mournful fate askew
Tarred and feathered, shackled severed
Scorned and ridiculed
Got no sheriff, got no order
Way too dangerous here
Gunslingers and lawlessness
Living is a scare
Brave new world where men are men
And treachery held dear
Got no sheriff, got no order
Way too dangerous here
(chorus)
Tarred and feathered, shackled severed
Scorned and ridiculed
Torn and weathered, shattered tethered
Feeling miniscule
Run from town a beaten clown
His mournful fate askew
Tarred and feathered, shackled severed
Scorned and ridiculed
(bridge)
Wild West town with muddy roads
Eighteen ninety two
(chorus)
Tarred and feathered, shackled severed
Scorned and ridiculed
Torn and weathered shattered tethered
