Here in the city the measure is frozen Billboards are screaming nothing is real In every small town there's air you can breathe in It's not about the money or fast food on wheels The lights are too bright for my eyes Inside there's a feeling that rings like a bell I've had enough and I long for the silence This place hasn't treated me well I have decided to leave this city These buildings and people bring me down I have decided to leave this city I think that I'm gonna move to town Here in the city no one's connected Careers are controlling everyone's lives In every small town there's barely possession Mothers aren't burdens or grandfathers' wives I won't make a sound I won't follow this merry-go-around That keeps going round with or without Me I'm leaving I'm leaving I'm leaving Tomorrow I'll make my way out of the city Tomorrow I'll hop on a train or a bus I'll never stop running away from cities Where girls don't leave husbands for boys like us
