hey! you! what are you expected to do?
sickened by this small old town you decided to leave
mum and dad got nearly upset but you said you had to go
all the things you left behind didn't seem to bother you
but you'll find out very soon that this is no relief
small town and small-minded people
is all you left behind
don't let them break your ambition
or take your dreams away
do really know what you're looking for
streets of gold fame fortune or is it just yourself
you didn't want to do what everybody else wanted you to
so you left your home and choose the things you have to do
small town and small-minded people
is all you left behind
don't let them break your ambition
or take your dreams away
big cities big dreams but you'll find out very soon
without trying to get along within your own little world
with people staring, shouting and annoying you
the only place for you to be would be on the moon
i don't condemn what you've done or going to do
cause i know what it means to be young
you're seeking the answers of yesterday and i hope you'll find them soon
i don´t condemn what you've done cause i know what it means to be young
hey! you! what are you expected to do?
