Fuck this town
Every house west of the river looks the same
And everybody looks so lost
And everything is just a game
Fuck this town
We don’t talk about it if it’s too profound
Just stick to football, spread some gossip
Let the world go round

Did it really have to be this way
If we’d maybe thought it out?
Try to put some distance from each other
Now we’re lonely and we’re proud
How are we supposed to keep this up?

I say we burn it down, let’s turn our backs and run
I wish that I could say that it’s been fun
But fuck this town
I’ve had it up to here, I swear I tried, but now
Not trying to put you down if you stuck around
But fuck this town

Cut this town in half - draw a line right down the train tracks
All the cops work on one side
At quitting time they all drive back
Got a church on every corner
Got a fish on every car
How is it that no one sees how full of shit they are?

You and me were supposed to run away
Thinking that I must have missed a joke
How is it that you’re still teaching sunday school
And I’m still selling smoke?
Man I really wanna blow it up

I say we burn it down, let’s turn our backs and run
I wish that I could say that it’s been fun
But fuck this town
I’ve had it up to here, I swear I tried, but now
Not trying to put you down if you stuck around
But fuck this town

Everyone I ever knew who was interesting and rare
Waited for their day and flew to find themselves out there
All you do, the rest of you, is sit and stare
At Fox & Friends and pray the world ends

Let’s take a long last look
The dead don’t make a sound
Got bored and now they’ll put boots on the ground
In all your towns
If we had a village here, we’d cry and toast a round
But we chose to hate and fear
So fuck this town

I say we burn it down, let’s turn our backs and run
I wish that I could say that it’s been fun
But fuck this town
I’ve had it up to here, I swear I tried, but now
Not trying to put you down if you stuck around
But fuck this town
