This town is full of garbage, the bars are full of crap
The girls they sound like chickens, I wish they’d shut their trap
The guys they think they’re so strong, but pull them tight they’ll snap
Don’t you know they’re just walking through the trash
They’re walking round in circles through the trash
Talking no sense at all, just talking trash
You know out here on this street everyone’s a schmuck
Either a JAP or a dib, but either way a schmuck
And we’re the only decent guys and we’re stuck
Walking on the wild side, all dressed in black
Waiting for the man who just sits there in the back
Step into the alley and feel your eardrums crack
It’s Saturday night, walking through the trash
Blowing off steam, just walking through the trash
And all the local hangouts are playing trash
This whole scene is nothing but a joke
So much to do but it’s all a joke
Another weekend burnt, gone up in smoke
Born in the sixties, ten years too young
Grew up in the seventies but it wasn’t any fun
Cut loose in the eighties but there’s nowhere to run
In the nineties we’re all walking through the trash
Selling our hearts for nothing but trash
Selling our souls for nothing but cash
Now everything in life is just a chore
And everything in town is just a bore
None of it matters to me anymore
Now everything they tell you is a lie
They make it all sound true but it’s a lie
It’s all so sick, sometimes you want to die
It’s all a lie, walking through the trash
The years creep by, walking through the trash
Just to die, walking through the trash
Our life is in the trash
Above our heads in trash
Buried in the trash
Walking through the trash
Walking through the trash
Walking through the trash

My attempt at a Lou Reed–type song set in Jerusalem in the late 1980s, based on my experiences on the scene during the last few months of my army service. Never recorded or performed.
