Lyrics

You think this town is keeping you down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of jerks in this world, in this world
You take a drink just to keep it on down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of drunks in this world, in this world
I wish you were
(Repeat)

She stands there like a broken record machine
Glued to the floor, staring helplessly
Sick of all the kids and the burnout scene
Sick of all the drugs that perish me

Why do I come here at all
Take a chance, take a fall
I don't want to come back anymore

I wish you were, I wish you were
(Repeat)

Played for you when you still had it rough
Now you think my shoes aren't cool enough
Take it back, you don't know what to do
Simplified, you've got no point of view

Bullet-proof mentality
It's too late for therapy
Watch your life become a tragedy

(Repeat chorus)

She stands there like a broken record machine
Glued to the floor, staring helplessly
Sick of all the kids and the burnout scene
Sick of all the drugs that perish me

(Repeat chorus)
