This Town
Pack your bags, kiss your mama goodbye
Tell yourself you're gonna find a better life
They say you'll make it with a Southern smile
Baby just fake it, it's a matter of time
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You can hear the sound of a breaking heart
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Underneath those neon city stars
This town, this town is a prison cell
With a million people in it
This town is a candy-coated hell
Melting every minute
This town, this town is a rat-race runaround
Rat-race runaround, yeah
This town, this town gonna beat you down
Are you gonna let it?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town
Sell your soul, keeping up with a fight
Money talks and voices beautiful and bright
Go play those games, roll the devil's dice
Melt to the shame, you can name your price
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You can find your faith in your ambition
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Won't get salvation but it's religion
This town, this town is a prison cell
With a million people in it
This town is a candy-coated hell
Melting every minute
This town, this town is a rat-race runaround
Rat-race runaround, yeah
This town, this town gonna beat you down
Are you gonna let it?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town
It's our way or the highway
It's our way or the lost highway
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town is a candy-coated hell
This town, this town is a prison cell
With a million people in it
This town is a candy-coated hell
Melting every minute
This town, this town is a rat-race runaround
Rat-race runaround, yeah
This town, this town gonna beat you down
Are you gonna let it?
Tell yourself you're gonna find a better life
They say you'll make it with a Southern smile
Baby just fake it, it's a matter of time
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You can hear the sound of a breaking heart
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Underneath those neon city stars
This town, this town is a prison cell
With a million people in it
This town is a candy-coated hell
Melting every minute
This town, this town is a rat-race runaround
Rat-race runaround, yeah
This town, this town gonna beat you down
Are you gonna let it?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town
Sell your soul, keeping up with a fight
Money talks and voices beautiful and bright
Go play those games, roll the devil's dice
Melt to the shame, you can name your price
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
You can find your faith in your ambition
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Won't get salvation but it's religion
This town, this town is a prison cell
With a million people in it
This town is a candy-coated hell
Melting every minute
This town, this town is a rat-race runaround
Rat-race runaround, yeah
This town, this town gonna beat you down
Are you gonna let it?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town
It's our way or the highway
It's our way or the lost highway
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This town is a candy-coated hell
This town, this town is a prison cell
With a million people in it
This town is a candy-coated hell
Melting every minute
This town, this town is a rat-race runaround
Rat-race runaround, yeah
This town, this town gonna beat you down
Are you gonna let it?
