You think this town is keeping you down  But I've been around the world  And I've seen a lot of jerks in this world, in this world  You take a drink just to keep it on down  But I've been around the world  And I've seen a lot of drunks in this world, in this world  I wish you were  (Repeat)    She stands there like a broken record machine  Glued to the floor, staring helplessly  Sick of all the kids and the burnout scene  Sick of all the drugs that perish me    Why do I come here at all  Take a chance, take a fall  I don't want to come back anymore    I wish you were, I wish you were  (Repeat)    Played for you when you still had it rough  Now you think my shoes aren't cool enough  Take it back, you don't know what to do  Simplified, you've got no point of view    Bullet-proof mentality  It's too late for therapy  Watch your life become a tragedy    (Repeat Chorus)    She stands there like a broken record machine  Glued to the floor, staring helplessly  Sick of all the kids and the burnout scene  Sick of all the drugs that perish me    (Repeat Chorus)
