Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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
