Trouble Town

Stuck in speed bump city

Where the only thing that's pretty

Is the thought of getting out

There's a tower block overhead

All you got's your benefits

And you're barely scraping by

In this trouble town, troubles I've found

In this trouble town, word soon gets 'round

Kick the ball to make troubles flee

And smoke until our eyes would bleed

The spark will pop the seed

Hear the sirens down the street

The kids get light on their feet

Or they'll be in the back seat

In this trouble town, troubles I've found

Sitting on the pavement

Boy, you missed your payment

And they're gonna find you soon

If there's a beating in the rain

If there's a little bit of pain, man

You're the one it happens to

If I talk of getting out

I only hear the laughter loud

It's got an ugly echo

Somewhere there's a secret road

To take me far away, I know

But till then I am hollow

In this trouble town, troubles I've found

In this trouble town, fools I've found

Sitting on the pavement

Boy, you missed your payment

And they're gonna find you soon

If there's a beating in the street

If there's a feeling of defeat

You're the one it happens to

Stuck in speed bump city

Where the only thing that's pretty

Is the thought of getting out
