Lyrics
Someday I know I'll matter, Sometime in some place better
I heard the sirens go by
I'm holding my breath til they pass
Ah this town is a cruel town, Ah this town is a cruel town
Don't wanna live a day not feeling like myself
But this little slice of life isn't a pie,
In this town
Always on the prowl
In this town
Wait for me
Wanna get away
Will I ever from this town, from this town
Seeking for simple pleasures
I?m thwarted at every try
Ah this town
Is a cruel town
Ah, this town
Is a cruel town
Don?t wanna live my life imprisioned in a cage
No, the birds don?t even want to sing
In this town
Always feel the same about this town
Wanna get away from this town
Will I escape from this town
Will I get away???
