You've got no work and you've got no money,
You're just a little pouty, life's no so funny in
Income Town, living down in Income Town.
Your eyes are so wide, your head's still spinning,
Can't you see there is no winning in
Income Town, no winning in Income Town.

Your hands are still sore from wild-end fighting.
Don't you see there is no right and no wrong you done;
No right and no wrong you done.
Your smile looks right, your intentions are right;
Your attitude's cool, your future's bright, you're in
Income Town, welcome down in Income Town.

Income Town - is the place to be.
Income Town - was built for you and me.
Income Town - makes you sleek and fat.
Income Town - leaves you straight and flat.

The cold comes creeping, the darkness falls;
Nothing to talk to, four brick walls in
Income Town, living down in Income Town.
You've got no life, you've got no money,
You're starting to sigh, future's not sunny,
It's an Income Town, living down in Income Town.

Your eyes are still wide, your head's still spinning,
You're starting to sigh, there is no winning in
Income Town, there's no winning in Income Town.
So kick up the heels with the rising sun,
Pick up your feet, come on, let's run away from
Income Town, run away from Income Town.

Lay down your sorrow, pick up your joy,
Come on home, be a country boy
Just a little while.
Baby just a little while..
Baby just a little country boy,
Country boy,
Take you for a country boy..

The song sounds live but this is questionable judged by the sound of it. John also says it was recorded in Toronto at the Green Banana. But he used the same phrase on Glastonbury 1986 introducing the band in Johnny Too Bad ( BBC Radio 1 live, track #10, after 32 seconds), which implies the place probably never existed.
