Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This town
(This town is comin' like a ghost town)
Is comin' like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This town
(This town is comin' like a ghost town)
Is comin' like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
Too much fighting on the dance floor
[Verse 2]
Ya, ya-ya-la-la
Ya-ya-la-la, ya-ya-la-la, ya-ya-la-la
Ya-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ya, ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-la-la, ya-ya-la-la, ya-ya-la-la
La-ah, la-la-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
[Verse 3]
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We sang and danced and the music played in any boomtown
[Verse 4]
This town
(This town is comin' like a ghost town)
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
(This town is comin' like a ghost town)
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
(This town is comin' like a ghost town)
No job to be found in this country
[Verse 5]
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry
[Verse 6]
Ya, ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya
Ya-la, la-la-la-ya-la-la-la
Ya, ya-ya-la-la
Ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-la-la
Ya-ya, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
