|
This is our town |
|
This is Friday night |
|
Dressed in our rags |
|
And our rage and our best |
|
Piercing eyes looking for something |
|
Anything, just anyone |
|
Stare across the floors |
|
They begin to dance |
|
Missing all the rhythms |
|
And the chosen right steps |
|
And we laugh and we drink |
|
In our corner again |
|
We're better than them |
|
We're better than them |
|
Divided we were born |
|
Divided we live |
|
Divided we fall |
|
Yeah, divided we die |
|
Still we tell ourselves |
|
Over and over again |
|
We're better than them |
|
We're better than them |
|
With our hunger and our hatred |
|
We all walk this town |
|
With our fear and our weakness |
|
Just holding on |
|
With our doubt and our emptiness |
|
And this cold, cold frown |
|
We got to be so important |
|
We'll put the whole damn world down |
|
And we build the walls |
|
That we can hide behind |
|
And our finest weapon |
|
Is our poisoned pride |
|
Here in this town |
|
Where the jealousies burn |
|
We're watching you |
|
And truth is only |
|
What we need it to be |
|
To bring us survival |
|
Through each and every day |
|
Where nowhere is safe |
|
And nowhere is home |
|
Just be cool |
|
And what was she wearing |
|
And what did he say |
|
Who goes with who |
|
And what did they do? |
|
Yeah, we tell ourselves |
|
Over and over again |
|
We're better than them |
|
We're better than them |
|
With our hunger and our hatred |
|
We all walk this town |
|
With our fear and our weakness |
|
Just holding on |
|
With our doubt and our emptiness |
|
And this cold, cold frown |
|
We got to be so important |
|
We'll put the whole damn world down |
|
Divided we were born |
|
Divided we live |
|
Divided we fall |
|
Yeah, divided we die |
|
Still we tell ourselves |
|
Over and over again |
|
We're better than them |
|
We're better than them |
|
We're better than them |
|
(We're not like them!) |
|
We're better than them... |
