lyrics

The streets are empty, but the lights are on
You can't afford them, but you can't turn them off
It's always hot and crowded
We're always running late
Just chasing mediocrity

On and on, with every step,
We're sinking deeper in our debts
Let's build some roads that won't send us sailing off of cliffs

It's a government town full of angry people
There's no reason to celebrate but we do it anyway
How are we supposed to see the beauty in this city
When it's hidden by the river,
and the river's always dirty?

All along it’s always been
A place to live and hang my head
But I’ll make something more of it
I am staring up at grey even on the sunny days
Let's make the change (and find our way)

Let's build some roads, and take pride in home
We'll never drown in this government town
