Cold Hearted Town, Pt. 2

[Refrain]
Go buy a suicide connection
Or a child for half the price:

[Chorus]

Cold hearted
Cold hearted town
Cold hearted
Cold hearted town
Cold hearted
It's a cold hearted town

You can treat him like a dog
And only feed him bowls of rice
[Verse 4]

You just can't erase this place if you try, it's a
[Chorus]
Cold hearted
Cold hearted town
Cold hearted
Cold hearted town
Cold hearted
Cold hearted town
Cold hearted
It's a cold hearted town
