lyrics

I was born and bred, to a different time,
slightly underfed, I had to toe the line,
but I grew up quick, and I grew up wise,
I saw a passing world through a child's eyes.

We had an open door, never locked at night,
neither rich or poor, I learned my wrong from right.
Then the milk turned sour, and the bread went bad,
like a wilting flower, this town went mad?

This is my town, - but things have changed round here,
you dare not walk the streets, folk live in fear.
This is my town, - and now we're moving on,
another generation upped and gone.

I was in no doubt, of this mess we're in
there was no way out, my conscience cried within,
When the blood was spilled, someone called my name,
a destiny fulfilled, I had to take the blame.

Chorus

'cos you can't see what they're seeing,
and you don't know what they know,
and you can't feel what they're feeling,
when they're low.

Chorus

Get out, get out, get out, get out of my town,
Get out, get out, get out, stay out of my town.
