Our Town

This is own 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, vote for me

You betterkeep 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

Don't leave us, you've got to stay

Just raise them kids, 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 place 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 a 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

When sunshine calls, but I won't go

This is our town.
