It can be profound
Growing up as a kid
On the wrong side of town
Take care on the streets
You better watch your back
Better watch the authorities
You can run, you can hide
But that feeling of dread
Is creepin' up inside
All those skeletons you hid
Pack up that shit
And use your common sense, kid
Here the sirens come
Keep your head down
And run, run, run
In the fight of your life
Grab the money
Grab the drugs
Grab the gun
Grab the knife
They will take you down
Chuck you in the back
With your hands cuffed and bound
It's time to say goodbye
To the kids, to the wife
To your freedoms, to your rights
And where did this all go wrong?
Everyone has packed up
And moved on
Cuz this town
Is no place to be
Your friends
Your family
Loved ones
Have all gone
Cuz this town
Is no place to be
Sat your in cell
But nobody is comin'
To post your bail
You've been pushed away
Now what you have
Is the price that you pay
You been beatin' down
Stabbed in the back
When the guards aren't around
Getting hauled away
In solitary confinement
Is where you'll stay
And where did this all go wrong?
Everyone has packed up
And moved on
Cuz this town
Is no place to be
Your friends
Your family
Loved ones
Have all gone
Cuz this town
Is no place to be
Everyone has packed up
And moved on
Cuz this town
Is no place to be
Your friends
Your family
Loved ones
Have all gone
Cuz this town
Is no place to be
