lyrics

uptown, downtown
moving all around
in this cliché, coast state
burned, suburban town
where the crowd meets up
on the local avenue
and the sky lights up
as the night comes into view

a light bulb burst at the end of the block
and a young boy cries
with the aid of the shock

a girl waves a flag
with her lover in hand
another nail on the cross
and we do it again and again

so we try it again
one more time, from the top
where we left it off

so we try it again
one more time, for the people
that you wasted it on

so we try it again
one more time, from the top
where we left it off

yeah, we try it again

can you?
would you?
do you think you could?
say something
so that i can be understood
i don't like the movies
or the last minute sellouts
constant reminder
that i'm climbing and i can't get out

shotgun blast at the end of the block
and a young girl dies
with the aid of the shot

i don't have a last name
a home, or a face
and the last thing i remember
i was never wanted in this place

no one's ever gonna come back this way again
no one's ever gonna come back this way again

got time to spend but i never change
put in your two cents but you never make any
