This Town Is Wrong

You've always been a good girl, smart girl, pretty girl, lucky girl, happy as the day is long. You've always been a good girl, smart girl, pretty girl, lucky girl, happy as the day is long. This town has so much at stake in you Do you have any idea what they put you through? They tell you you will go far, a little star, how I wonder what you are When I watch you wearing their jewels They want you to have long hair, short skirts, clear skin, nothing hurts Following their every rule. But why don't you make the rules? Why don't you make the rules? Angela, this town is wrong Angela, this town is wrong So now it's so sad to see you this way I call but you never have time to play They gave you all these big dreams, big plans, beneficial programs A studio with mirrors for walls Your doctors tell you work it through, smooth it out, feel your pain, let it out They never let you learn how to crawl They never let you make the rules Why don't you make the rules? Angela, this town is wrong Angela, this town is wrong Angela spread your wings and be gone. It's midnight, your light's on and I'm standing here in your yard I sold my computer for a used acoustic guitar You only need your toothbrush, fifty bucks, that velvet shirt that brings you luck The voice that's your mother's investment By morning we'll be long gone, on the run, city bound, I know someone I'm sure we could stay in her apartment And then we'll make the rules And then we'll make the rules Angela, this town is wrong Angela, this town is wrong Angela spread your wings and be Angela spread your wings and be Angela spread your wings and be gone.
