I'M GETTIN' TIRED OF THIS PLACE
Written and perfomed by Pete Berwick/ Pete Berwick Publishing BMI

THERE WAS A TIME THIS WAS MY KINGDOM
EVERY SIDEWALK KNEW MY NAME
ALL THE LOCKS AND DOORS WOULD OPEN
WASN'T A THING I COULDN'T TAKE
BUT NOW THE POETS AND THE VENDORS
BEG FOR EVERY SCRAP OF BETTER DAYS
EVEN THE WILD DOGS SURRENDER
WITHOUT A TRACE
I'M GETTIN' TIRED OF THIS PLACE

ONCE A MAN COULD BE A MAN HERE
AND LOOK A WOMAN IN THE EYE
NOW THEY JUST STARE AT THE GROUND HERE
AS THE WOMEN AND THEIR LIVES PASS THEM BY
THEY PROSITUTE THEIR PRIDE FOR VALIDATION
HIDING BEHIND THEIR INTERFACE
THEY LIVE INSIDE A WORLD OF APPREHENSION
ALL SMELL NO TASTE
I'M GETTIN' TIRED OF THIS PLACE

THE POETS AND THE WRITERS HAVE GONE TENDER
YOU CAN SEE IT WRITTEN ON THEIR FACE
WHERE HEROES WALKED THE STEET NOW JUST PRETENDERS
IT'S SUCH A WASTE
I'M GETTIN' TIRED OF THIS PLACE
EVEN THE WILD DOGS SURRENDER
IT'S A DISGRACE
I'M GETTIN' TIRED OF THIS PLACE
