OUR TOWN

This is our town, this is my place This is where my whole world is lived in Nothing much and just out of reach Of all the city lights It's a high town, it's a low town It's a get you come and you grow town No-one does, but everyone thinks They're gonna make it soon This is one place I'm respected Now I feel it's really rejected No-one cares and the people just stare As the man on the bike says Hey you don't walk away You better keep working hard They're paying you so Here it comes now Sunday morning Just another sleepy town yawning Down the road everything looks Just like another day But in the warm glow of the sunrise There's a child who's searching with young eyes See him now, the feeling inside He's gonna fly away There was one time I was leaving But the folks around me kept grieving Friends said go but my dad said no And my mum kept saying Don't go don't go away You got to stay All mama's know No prospects just projects Don't try to tell me we're leaving There's no real need to try Can't you see this town's gonna die Hail the new age it's a rat cage Join the race for breeding your species All stacked up and doing Whatever someone tells you to Burn the place down make it dead ground Show the people just what they're missing Wake up, wake up can't you believe What I'm telling you There's the house where I was born in Now it's changed without any warning Panes just crash and plates just smash Why the billboard's saying Let's go let's get away You wish you could stay But I won't go This is our town
