Up River - City Blues

I feel like I've been here for the past decade
Strangers with familiar faces watch me
As they cross over the road to their liars parade

A wasted Generation
Engulfed by the cities and fabrications
The stench of the cities hellmouth lingers through
As they biteand they cry through the night
Time we wasted here can't be replaced
And these dreams they can't be embraced

A wasted Generation
Engulfed by the cities and fabrications

The rumble of the crowd causes a drone
I can hear it through my front door
From Brunswick square to James street home

I should tell you this now
I'm just another face in the crowd
Over priced rent in a dark town
I'm so tired of coming out to play just to get by

I should tell you this now
It's not that their not there for you
It's that they just don't care

I should tell you this now
It's not that their not there for you
It's that they just don't care!

I'll snatch my soul from the bottom
I'll stagger to the top
I'll chase this fools gold
No rest till my heart stops
