Lucinda Williams - This Is Not My Town Lyrics

Lucinda Williams Lyrics

"This Is Not My Town"

Can anybody see what's going down
Can anybody see what's going down
They're sending in all the clowns
That's what's going down

To play on all your fears
To play on all your fears
To tell you what you want to hear
To play on all your fears

They're playing one against each other
They're playing one against each other
Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers
One against the other

Shake em up! Shake em up! Shake em up!
Sometimes you gotta shake em down
Break em up! Break em up! Break em up!
Sometimes you gotta break em down

This is not my city
This is not my town
This is not my city
This is not my town

They say you can't go home again
You can't go home again
Nothing's the same as it was back then
You can't go home again

This was the place that made me
This was the place that made me
I know this was the place that saved me
The place that made me

Now I don't even know this place
I don't even know this place
Where no one looks in your face
I don't even know this place

Shake em up! Shake em up! Shake em up!
Sometimes you gotta shake em down
Break em up! Break em up! Break em up!
Sometimes you gotta break em down

This is not my city
This is not my town
This is not my city
This is not my town

Shake em up! Shake em up! Shake em up!
Sometimes you gotta shake em down
Break em up! Break em up! Break em up!
Sometimes you gotta break em down

This is not my city
This is not my town
This is not my city
This is not my town
