"This Town" lyrics

So went back to the street where, I've seen your name
And oh you're settled now, I know by this thing called fame
So we counted with letters and spelt with numbers too
But our town lives on

So went back to the street where, I see your face
And I can honestly say I've never introduced a disgrace
Your character like clay, so easily breaks
But our town lives on

You steal our pride and you take our voice
You kick us down, yeah you tear me apart
But you will never know, what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive

So we're back to the street where, this all began
You tried to escape so you ran, and you ran
And a thousand times, yeah I've seen it so, before
But our town lives on

You steal our pride and you take our voice
You kick us down, yeah you tear me apart
And you will never know, what it feels like

You steal our pride and you take our hearts
You kick us down, yeah you tear me apart
But you will never know, what it feels like
To be alive
