"Ought To Be" lyrics

"Ought To Be"

Just down from the waterway
Underneath the towers
Out there almost every day
Running from what I was
So much that we'd dream about
Where no one else can find us
Some day we'd be getting out
Leave it all behind us

They say they'll take none of us
Right in front of us
They say can't be one of us
And who the hell would wanna be

The west end crowd, they can't get down
The east side, just a bunch of wannabees
The rest don't care or can't be found
You get back to the bottom where you oughta be

I wonder why I stuck around
And so did the teachers
The cool kids always skipping out
Underneath the bleachers
Came up through the underground
Path of least resistance
And my one chance of getting out
I guess I must have missed it

They say they'll take none of us
Right in front of us
They say can't be one of us
And who the hell would wanna be

The west end crowd, they can't get down
The east side, just a bunch of wannabees
The rest don't care or can't be found
You get back to the bottom where you oughta be
Back where you oughta be

And who the hell would wanna be

The west end crowd, they can't get down
The east side, just a bunch of wannabees
The rest don't care or can't be found
You get back to the bottom where you oughta be
The west end crowd, they can't get down
The east side, just a bunch of wannabees
The rest don't care or can't be found
You get back to the bottom where you oughta be
