I can't live in this city
And I know all these people
Where they went to high school
Where they got their angle
There, see all those old men
How'd they get so swollen?
I got so many broke friends
From when we were children
Is that your question, man?
Where does all your frustration lie?
Why are you pulling out your hair at night?
Just try and have a good time
You're still one of my kind
I can't think in this city
I know every story that it ever told me
Well, I got the blueprint
That's what made it tragic
Yeah, going to call my first love
Tell her all that I've done
Like it feels you're young
There are things against us
But I will fight tooth and nail
Stand in the sickening sunshine
After staying out all night
And maybe it's the good life
You're still one of my kind
I can't live in this city
But I'll probably die here
Maybe that's how you feel
Like a poisoned cornfield
Like a best friend backstabbed
We're living straight-lined
