Ignoring The Town That Time Forgot

Put your pennies in the slot -
Will your fortune come in
Or will it not?
(Well, it will not).
It's just your last-ditch bid
To ignore the town that time forgot.

Put your application in -
Will your CV be read
Or go in the bin?
It's not like either way you win:
It's just a last-ditch shot
To ignore the town that time forgot.

Say god-trembling prayers,
To make Him appear:
If the answers are there
You won't find them here.
You're a clerical error in a made-up plot
Ignored by the town that time forgot.

So, pull a stool up and down a shot
And wash it down with
Gallons of gut-rot:
It matters not.
Welcome to the one thing you have got:
Ignoring the town that time forgot.
