Nice End of Town
You need a damn backbone to live in this perfect home
To live in this perfect street
Where mothers only smoke in parked cars while their kids are at school
Security cameras on watch out for the people you've trodden on
Just to get one step closer to getting out
Of this damn town
Was this what you dreamed of?
Was this the life you hoped for?
The nice end of town but you're still kept down
Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us
Hide your old self under the floorboards
And cover it with over-priced carpet
Keep renovating the kitchen try and distract from what you're missing
Keep pretending that you made it out
That you're proud of who you are now
Postcode lottery can't change who you used to be
Was this what you dreamed of?
Was this the life you hoped for?
The nice end of town but you're still kept down
Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us
You've climbed up on some pedestal you've built
Looking down on us through your rose-tinted guilt
Like it's our fault you voted to keep us here
Keep pushing your innocence and pray for our ignorance
Was this what you dreamed of?
Was this the life you hoped for?
The nice end of town but you're still kept down
Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us
The nice end of town but you're still kept down
Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us
To live in this perfect street
Where mothers only smoke in parked cars while their kids are at school
Security cameras on watch out for the people you've trodden on
Just to get one step closer to getting out
Of this damn town
Was this what you dreamed of?
Was this the life you hoped for?
The nice end of town but you're still kept down
Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us
Hide your old self under the floorboards
And cover it with over-priced carpet
Keep renovating the kitchen try and distract from what you're missing
Keep pretending that you made it out
That you're proud of who you are now
Postcode lottery can't change who you used to be
Was this what you dreamed of?
Was this the life you hoped for?
The nice end of town but you're still kept down
Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us
You've climbed up on some pedestal you've built
Looking down on us through your rose-tinted guilt
Like it's our fault you voted to keep us here
Keep pushing your innocence and pray for our ignorance
Was this what you dreamed of?
Was this the life you hoped for?
The nice end of town but you're still kept down
Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us
The nice end of town but you're still kept down
Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us
