Lyrics

Auto Modown

Auto mow down

Down in Youngstown

Bodies in the street

Auto mow down

Noon in downtown

Bodies with no feet

Auto mow down

Noon in Youngstown

Bodies got the blues

Auto mow down

Up in downtown

Bodies with no shoes

An acid-head goon

In a '55 Dodge

Didn't mean to do it

But a sidewalk run

In the noon-day sun

Ten to one, he had to lose it
