You spend your time in smoky rooms
Where haggled old women with cheap perfume say
It never happens for people like us, you know
Well, nothing ever happened on its own
Well, now the toilets smells of desperation
The streets all echo of aggravation
And you wonder why you can't get no sleep
When you got nothing to do and you had nothing to eat
Your life's slipping and sliding right out of view
And there's absolutely nothing that you can do, well
We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
Dirty dishes from a TV meal
That went cold from the wind through a smashed up window
You cant go out if anybody calls you
Cause you can't have a bath when there's no hot water
And your friends are out on the town again
And you ask yourself if it will ever end
And its all too much for your head to take
Just a matter of time before you break, well
We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
Oh now, oh now
We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns
Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
