lyrics
Finished my set
It wasn’t bad I suppose
Drinking at the bar
With the regular man
I’ve lost count of
All the times he’s said;
“It’s a shit business
But good for you I guess”
All the people clock off at five
It’s the same old Friday night
Blowing hard-earned brass
Getting drunk and high
Drowning to forget reality
‘Cause in this town
They just take all your hopes and dreams
I didn’t sign up for misery
And I hate these streets
They’re just so full of Apathy
I never wanted this so get me out, just get me out
At work, there’s no hiding
My tired dark eyes
And my head just aches
And my complexions grey
She says “you’ve changed
You’re just not yourself”
The truth just hurts
Oh was it ever meant to be?
Gin and tonic are my only friends
It hurts that this is real and not a dream
It’s honestly shit to become so numb
Losing myself just like they all do
‘Cause in this town
They just take all your hopes and dreams
I didn’t sign up for misery
And I hate these streets
They’re just so full of Apathy
I never wanted this so get me out, just get me out
‘Cause in this town
They just take all your hopes and dreams
I didn’t sign up for misery
And I hate these streets
They’re just so full of Apathy
I never wanted this so get me out, just get me out
