Small Town from Flaneur by Yo-Yo & the Chaplain

I was born in the city
But they took me away to a real small town, and
They said it would be quite pretty
But pretty means miles of nothing around, and

Chorus:
In this small town, it's a great place to learn to hate
Everything around you
In this small town, all your big dreams, try as they might
Aren't ever gonna find you
In this small town you think it's safe, but if I'm stuck here,
I don't know what I might do
'Cause there's nothing for me in this small town

Lost in the country
Nothing to do but watch the cows
And the odd and sundry
Tiny acts that came through town

Get up on the stage
Peering out into the crowd
You know you've got it made
As long as you play fast and loud! And

Chorus

Not a lot of comfort
To think about my small town
So I'm singin' one for
Lights, and streets, and beautiful sounds

Hey, listen here:
Can't you hear that beauty now?
No, don't ever fear;
The city's symphony blares loud, and

In this small town, it's a great place to learn to hate
Everything around you
In this small town, all your big dreams, try as they might
Ain't ever gonna find you
In this small town, you think it's safe, but I'm stuck here,
Afraid of what I might do

'Cause there's nothing for me,
And I'm forlorn, lonely
Nothing for me
With no one to hold me
No, there's nothing for me,
But I'm afraid only
Of this small town
