lyrics

The days have darkened, the night has a chill
Everyone you know is on some kind of pill
For anxiety, depression, or stress
How it's gonna wind up is anyone's guess
(but guess what?) It won't be too good, and it won't be too long
Before everyone sings the same old sad song
About old times forgotten, how it used to be
Before the cold dawn of this new century

You put up a paradise and then tear it down
And then you act surprised by the mess on the ground
You found who your friends were when they all left your side
You say you don't care, there ain't no place to hid
With your eyes to the skies and your knees to the ground
You pray everyday that you won't be let down
You're battered and bruised like you just went 12 rounds
There's no way out of this town

Your biggest mistake started with a small lie
And it grew and it grew and to no one's surprise
You were left all alone to stew in your shame
You changed your hair, you changed your name
But they all saw thru you and you saw all their stares
And it cut you right down, it ain't never been fair
But it ain't nothing new, it's as old as the stars
But the sun still shines down wherever you are
I know it's only rock and roll
I can't help but feeling it's taking its toll
You're battered and bruised like you just went 12 rounds
There's no way out of this town.
