A-Z

Some things never seem to change

Kids still call each other names

Should get better, but it's sad and strange

Every insult still the same

Growin' up in small town hell

They bide their time till the dinner bell

Take a swing with a bag and we wait

By the school gate

All this pushin' and shovin'

When you need a little lovin'

Little human kindness

Where you gonna find it?

Where you gonna find it?

So you close your bedroom door

And you kneel down on the floor

'Cause you don't want to get caught

Packin' the bag that your mother doesn't even know you bought

So it's come to this, you cry

Not even time to say goodbye

You pack some cigarettes and an A-Z

Push the suitcase back under the bed

You've been balanced on a knife

Will the city save your life?

You've been waitin' for so long

Just for somewhere to feel like home

You've been balanced on a knife

Will the city save your life?

Your life is waiting for you

And love is waiting for you

So pack your cigarettes and you A-Z

It'll be just like that book you read
