Lyrics

This is own town, this is my place
This is where my whole world is lived in
Nothing much, and just out of reach of all the city lights
It's a high town, it's a low town
It's a get you come and you grow town
No-one does, but everyone thinks they're gonna make it soon
This is one place I'm respected
Now I feel it's really rejected
No-one cares and the people just stare
As the man on the bike says
"Hey you, don't walk away, vote for me
You betterkeep working hard"
They're paying you so
Here it comes now Sunday morning
Just another sleepy town yawning
Down the road everything looks just like another day
But in the warm glow of the sunrise
There's a child who's searching with young eyes
See him now, the feeling inside he's gonna fly away
There was one time I was leaving
But the folks around me kept grieving
Friends said: "Go" but my Dad said: "No"
And my Mum kept saying
"Don't go, don't go away
Don't leave us, you've got to stay
Just raise them kids, all Mama's know"
No prospects, just projects
Don't try to tell me we're leaving
There's no real need to try
Can't you see this town's gonna die
Hail the new age, it's a rat cage
Join the place for breeding your species
All stacked up and doing whatever someone tells you to
Burn the place down, make it dead ground
Show the people just what they're missing
Wake up, wake up, can't you believe what I'm telling you
There's a house where I was born in
Now it's changed without any warning
Panes just crash and plates just smash
Why the billboard's saying
"Let's go, let's get away
You wish you could stay
When sunshine calls, but I won't go
This is our town.
