This is your town, this is my placeThis is where my whole world is lived inNothing much, and just out of reach of all the city lightsIt's a high town, it's a low townIt's get here, come on you grow townNo-one does, but everyone thinks they're gonna make it soonThis is one place I respectedNow I feel it's really dejectedNo-one cares and the people just stareAnd a man on the box says"Hey you, don't walk away, vote for meYou'll get more pay, keep working hard"But they work slowHere it comes now, Sunday morningJust another sleepy town yawningDown below everything looks just like another dayBut, in the warm glow of the sunriseThere's a child who's searching with young eyesLooking 'round and feeling inside he's gonna fly awayThere was one time I was leavingBut the folks around me kept grievingFriends said go, but my dad said noAnd my mum kept saying"Don't go, don't go awayDon't leave us, you've got to staySongtexteJust raise them kids, oh mother no"No prospects, just projectsDon't try to tell me we're livingThere's no real need to tryCan't you see this town gonna dieHail the new age, it's a rat cageJoin the place for breeding dumb spiecesAll stacked up and doing whatever someone tells you toBurn the place down, make it dead groundShow the people just what they're missingWake up, wake up, can't you believe in what I'm telling youThere's a house where I was born inNow it's changed without any warningCranes just crash and bricks just smashWhile a billboard's saying"Let's go, let's get awayCome fly me, you've weeks to payWhen sunshine calls, but I won't goThis is our town Aus Songtexte Mania
