This is your 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
itand's a high town, itand's a low town
itand's get here, come on you grow town
no-one does, but everyone thinks theyand're gonna make it soon
this is one place i respected
now i feel itand's really dejected
no-one cares and the people just stare
and a man on the box says
andquot;hey you, donand't walk away, vote for me
youand'll get more pay, keep working hardandquot;
but they work slow
Here it comes now, sunday morning
just another sleepy town yawning
down below everything looks just like another day
but, in the warm glow of the sunrise
thereand's a child whoand's searching with young eyes
looking and'round and feeling inside heand'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
andquot;donand't go, donand't go away
donand't leave us, youand've got to stay
just raise them kids, oh mother noandquot;
No prospects, just projects
donand't try to tell me weand're living
thereand's no real need to try
canand't you see this town gonna die
Hail the new age, itand's a rat cage
join the place for breeding dumb spieces
all stacked up and doing whatever someone tells you to
burn the place down, make it dead ground
show the people just what theyand're missing
wake up, wake up, canand't you believe in what iand'm telling you
thereand's a house where i was born in
now itand's changed without any warning
cranes just crash and bricks just smash
while a billboardand's saying
andquot;letand's go, letand's get away
come fly me, youand've weeks to pay
when sunshine calls, but i wonand't go
This is our town
