Two years gone now, but it feels like ten
Two years on the run, from my only friend
There’s fire in the water here, but dumb in the air
Violence in the water here, but God in the air
I went downtown, but there was no downtown
I went down, yeah you brought me down
I get down, in the old home town
I been around, so I can’t stay here no more
Copper come around here, only in the dark
You’re running out of steam, but that don’t matter cause there ain’t no spark
And I ain’t changed, I’m still the same, I’m just a babe crying in the dark
And this place ain’t changed, the game’s the same and so is the mark
There’s regulations on everything you say
There’s rules and there’s guiding lines for every breath you take
And the explanations that they give to you, babe, they all sound insane
And the way that they look at you when you don’t obey
You went downtown, but there was no downtown
You went down, yeah I know, I brought you down
You get down, in the old home town
We’ve been around, and we can’t stay here no more
