lyrics

this town is ugly on the surface
but deep inside its still ugly
the people here are rude in purpose
in this little town besides the sea
the people here they make me nervous
and my dad he works in a factory
and we live paycheque to paycheque
eating super noodles to get us through the week


and it don’t matter son that we are poor cause one day we’ll be rich
if i try my best or get lucky it doesn’t matter which
if i graft like mad and get a job that beats the one i have

but id doesn’t work that way does it dad?

and we can’t all have loads of money
thats not the nature of our economy
somebody always has to finish last
and i guess that we’re just unlucky

and this isn’t all about income
i know you’re bitter and lonely
i just don’t want to be what you have become
out there in the factory

and i’m sorry dad but I’m not about give up life
to be paid a fraction of what i’m worth to work all through the night
and i will not stand for those who tell me what i have to do
because i’d do almost anything to not end up like you

and it don’t matter son that we are poor cause one day we’ll be rich
if i try my best or get lucky it doesn’t matter which
if i graft like fuck and get a job that beats the one i have
but it doesn’t work that way does it dad
and you know that

and i don’t know if theres a way out
i could always win the lottery
but i'm stuck here without a doubt
so i’ll just enroll at the factory
