Lyrics
MINNESOTA NIGHTS
Moms and Dads, and brothers
in the ?hood
Minnesota nights ain?t gonna
be so good
Carrying guns as a last resort
Something?s saying to me, this ain?t no sport.
CHORUS: There?s more fear in living,
are we all paranoid?
There?s more fear in living,
are we all paranoid?
These subtle acts of legislative ills,
Brings apathy to the front,
and puts rust on the wheels
Progress is rolling at an unstoppable pace,
Special interest is there, with a hand in our face.
CHORUS
Moms and Dads, and brothers
in the ?hood
Minnesota nights ain?t gonna
be so good
Carrying guns as a last resort
Something?s saying to me,
this ain?t no sport.
