(chorus)

1500 miles east of L.A. about the same from Jersey

Everything is a sin or a crime there

Death where's your mercy

(verse)

Death replied "I'm done with your case, you're dead in Kansas and nothing rhymes with that word except Kan kiss my ass"

(chorus)

1500 miles east of L.A. about the same from Jersey

Everything is a sin or a crime there

Death where's your mercy

(verse)

Thought I needed to slow down, fast life, big city

I didn't know what slow was till Baldwin City

There is a law that you pray daily, they watch you do it

It's too late, slow plan went bad, I really blew it

(chorus)

1500 miles east of L.A. about the same from Jersey

Everything is a sin or a crime there

Death where's your mercy

(verse)

Can't wait to die again in my big city

Sin all I want, finally

No one cares there but nothings a pity

If you want to know what it was like back there in Kansas, lots of nothing I need, no fun, just taxes

Everything's a sin or a crime there, don't know what relax is

I ask you again, Death, where's your mercy

1500 miles east of L.A. about the same from Jersey

1500 miles east of L.A. about the same from Jersey
