They might think it's not worth that much But they don't know how we measure up I don't own the place I call home But I'm still free, this life's all my own I bite my tongue in the street And then I scream in my sleep I bite my tongue in the street And then I scream in my sleep All these opinions I keep The only thing I can keep Oh what a shame Don't you feel disposable? Without a boat to pull Their table aged oak Your table foldable Hold the phone Your favourite team owned by Vodafone Pepsi ad soda shown Favourite scene of home alone It's overblown We bark loud they might throw a bone But spend it all on booze and drugs Credit won't let us own a home Student loans They sell hope with no proven goal And when we finally take a shot They go ahead and move the poles No cologne, I smell of gas and the open road Fake smile broken bone Real ones know the tone Now you know How you fall apart is how you grow And every loss you ever take Can teach you something valuable Malleable, no we don't bend for the valley folk I got all I ever need right here on my patio And they don't think it's worth that much well we don't hold value in gold They might think it's not worth that much But they don't know how we measure up I don't own the place I call home But I'm still free, this life's all my own I bite my tongue in the street And then I scream in my sleep I bite my tongue in the street And then I scream in my sleep All these opinions I keep The only thing I can keep Oh what a shame Does it feel like enough time? Before the decline We were daft as birds & rodents in these confines The set us up nice and pretty on the front line Knowing that we'll die first at least they we'll have fun trying I set up camp underneath the fleeting sunshine If we're going down then f*ck it I'm gunna unwind I used to only write from the state of drunk mind Now I'm clear as day with shit to say and so I must climb I came up from the bottom of a pit With my tooth clenched onto the bottom of my lip Bottomed out but the bottom line is this No we never sold out still they bought em what a gift Where I live snow in autumn just exist So I'm used to falling early and then rotting with the pits I'd rather stick to my roots, then be low hanging fruit Let me call it what it is They might think it's not worth that much But they don't know how we measure up I don't own the place I call home But I'm still free, this life's all my own I bite my tongue in the street And then I scream in my sleep I bite my tongue in the street And then I scream in my sleep All these opinions I keep The only thing I can keep Oh what a shame
