Kickback City Lyrics

They say this town will kill you They say this town ain't got no soul This town could take a childs smile And turn it into stone But don't you think I know that This town has cut me to the bone Trouble 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 you try to play the part With all this double dealing I tell you brother you get smart Here in kickback city You're lost before you start

People in subways look nearly half dazed to me Renting tomorrow investing in sorrow no belief

Faces in sidestreets hiding like angels for 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 Till you unravelled on the floor But I won't let it beat me Though trouble's knocking in 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
