In that ruthless old town,
You think ran itself into the ground,
Forget achievements and forget your history,
You won't be needing those anymore.
And with the good, comes the bad,
And they call us 'the ugly',
well I suppose that we're nothing else,
With their eyes right to the glass they hit below the belt.
And if everyone takes a piece,
Then there'll be none left,
And if everyone takes a piece,
Then it won't be considered theft.
Ruthless old town.
The picture's bigger than you know,
The picture's bigger than you know,
Open your mouth before you think about it,
Open your mouth before you think about it.
Some things never change,
Some things never change,
What difference does to the brain I find strange,
What difference does to the brain I find strange.
And if everyone takes a piece,
Then there'll be none left,
And if everyone takes a piece,
Then it won't be considered theft.
Ruthless old town.
A man once told me, with a poisoned smile,
'The sad's will only last for a short while,
The molehills of your mind, they're of a different kind!'
Well, deep is your weakness and small is your brain,
Accept this and it will repeat again,
Accept this and it will repeat again.
