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 d** 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 d** that perish me (Repeat Chorus)
