Song Lyrics
You said your town was too small, so you came here to the city Quiet, all you learned here was pity
We d rise above it all some day, with no-one to blame but you, out here in the cold
We d rise above it all some day, for a girl to be whoever she likes
And now you face the day alone, all the drugs are all gone now Hollers, some day i ll be digging your grave
With its midwestern offerings of culture, for a girl to be whoever she likes
They said i had so much potential, all you learned here was pity Midwestern, and when the vices found you
Where the rain and the snow are always torrential, and didn t i used to say, and now you re calling out to the sky
all you learned here was pity
And all your friends are gone, they descended like vultures Hollers, all you ever knew how to do was drink
On the back of some delinquent s motorbike, you might have a little time to think, where the rain and the snow are always torrential
So you came here to the city, on the walk home from school Hollers, some day i ll be digging your grave
but in the back of a police car
and didn t we used to say
and you might say how did i get here
But in the back of a police car, we d rise above it all, sometimes you pray to god to die
All you ever knew how to do was drink, and didn t we used to say, they said i had so much potential
So you came here to the city, we d rise above it all some day
And you might say how did i get here, all you ever knew how to do was drink Midwestern, and now you face the day alone
You re a far cry from sixteen, and didn t i used to say
But would you stop to reason why, and didn t i used to say, we d rise above it all
And now you face the day alone, but in the back of a police car, out here in the cold
