We'll Live and Die In These Towns

You spend your time in smokey rooms where

Haggled old women with cheap perfume say

It never happens for people like us, you know

Well nothin' ever happened on it's own

And well the toilet smells of desperation

The streets all echo of aggravation

You wonder why you can't get no sleep

When you've got nothin' to do and you've had nothin' to eat

Your life's slippin' and slidin' right out of view

And there's absolutely nothin' that you can do, well

We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now

We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now

Dirty dishes from a TV meal

That went cold from the wind through a smashed up window

You can't go out if anybody calls ya

'Cause you can't have a bath when there's no hot water

And your friends are out on the town again

And you ask yourself if it'll ever end

And it's all too much for your head to take

Just a matter of time before you break, well

We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now

We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now

Oh, now

Oh, now

We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now

We'll live and die, we'll live and die in these towns

Don't let it drag you down, don't let it drag you down now
