"Here In Pleasantville" lyrics

If you could see yourself the way that I do
You might change a thing or two
You wouldn't look so angry
You'd know it doesn't look good on you
So grab your coat
And grab your hats
There ain't no saying if we're coming back
'Cause something's gone so terribly wrong
Here in Pleasantville

Do you remember how we'd stay out so late
We used to have so much fun
We used to wish that the morning sun just would never come
But look at us now
We're tucked in tight
We're just praying for a little light
'Cause something's gone so terribly wrong
Here in Pleasantville

I need to tell you now as we leave
That it's much worse than you would believe
And no matter how far you think you've been
The beginning
Well, that's where you are
So I'm using my last match
I'll put a fire up on every hill
And burn down Pleasantville

We never did learn how to use our voices
We never thought that we'd be heard
The only way they'd ever listen
Is if we'd scream every word

Because there ain't nothing in our walk
That just ain't the kind of luck we got
So let's move on
'Cause something's gone so terribly wrong
Here in Pleasantville
