Lyrics
- THEY SAY THIS TOWN WILL KILL YOU
- THEY SAY THIS TOWN AIN’T GOT NO SOUL
- THIS TOWN COULD TAKE A CHILD’S SMILE
- AND TURN IT INTO STONE
- BUT DON’T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT
- THIS PLACE HAS CUT ME TO THE BONE
- TROUBLES CRAWLING UP YOUR BACK
- FEAR JUST EATS YOUR SOUL
- YOU SAY THIS TOWN WILL EAT YOU UP
- YOU SAY THIS TOWN AIN’T GOT NO HEART
- YOU TRY TO LEARN ALL YOUR LINES
- AND TRY TO PLAY YOUR PART
- WITH ALL THIS DOUBLE DEALING
- I TELL YOU BROTHER, YOU GET SMART
- HERE IN KICKBACK CITY
- YOU’RE LOST BEFORE YOU CAN START
- PEOPLE IN SUBWAYS LOOK NEARLY HALF-DAZED TO ME
- RENTING TOMORROW
- INVESTING IN SORROW
- NO BELIEF
- FACES IN SIDE STREETS, HIDING LIKE ANGELS FROM GRACE
- SELLING YOU SORROW
- RENTING TOMORROW
- YOU’RE OUT OF PLACE
- THEY SAY THIS TOWN WILL KILL YOU
- THEY SAY THIS TOWN AIN’T GOT NO SOUL
- THEY’LL SET YOU UP AND PULL THE STITCH
- ‘TIL YOU’RE UNRAVELED ON THE FLOOR
- BUT I WON’T LET IT BEAT ME
- THOUGH TROUBLE’S KNOCKING ON MY DOOR
- SOMEHOW IT’S JUST YOUR SMILE
- THAT KEEPS ME COMING BACK FOR MORE
- HERE IN KICKBACK CITY
- FEEL I’M GOING DOWN SLOW
- HERE IN KICKBACK CITY
- FEEL I’M GOING DOWN SLOW
