We're the ones the light never shines on
The dirty underside of the rhinestone
Where you're born to lose it all
When you think the world is yours
When this town demands the best
We're blessed with the worst

A million lights, a million stars
A million millionaires, a million fancy cars
A million restaurants
Where the money goes to dine
A million back alleys
But this one is mine

And there's a sign in my hands
But no one stops to read it
But they stick metal spikes
In the places I've been sleeping
And the man in the suit sneers
And gives me the business
Right down his nose
Like it's some kind of privilege
To starve to death in a free town
And I'm starving to death in a free town

We're the ones who fall through the safety net
The broken one the Jesus freaks point at
When they say I don't need no more welfare
Yeah, it's only 'til we're born that they seem to care

But it's all I can do
To work as hard as I can
For a worthless-ass dollar
That'll never reach my hand
But they don't give a damn
They just stick to their preachings
And point at my bootstraps
Like it's some gift from Jesus
To barely get by in a free town
And I'm barely getting by in a free town

And it's a small world we share
In this valley, this city
This desert full of jewels
These hearts with no pity
And these high times and high rises
Over my head
I can't be the only one here
Who's better off dead

We're the ones who stare across the skyline
Shamefully, wistfully, one more time
And when it's all over they'll sweep us away
And pretend there's not 12 of us up here today

And they build these skyscrapers
So we can't reach the edge
But there's a will and a way
And this is all we got left
So my eyes are shut tight
And no matter how it stings
I'm gonna kick with my feet
And spread my broken wings
And I'll learn to fly in a free town
I'm gonna learn to fly in a free town

Seems no matter how low you are
There's always a down
In a free town
In a free town
