My friend called just the other day Packed it up he won't be back this way It's not your heart but the spirit they break There's only so much a small town boy can take See the eyes of the countless masses Drinking life from the empty glasses CHORUS No more victims No more lies No sheer heart attacks No more empty promises No more lookin' back I came here loaded searching for the dream But nothing is ever easy as it seems I thought I got closer to it every day But every day it just got so far away See all the faces paled Shot to hell when the system failed CHORUS I thought I could take all the shit in grind And stand much more pain But see all those dead end wishes Eats away at the brain CHORUS
