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 Ne 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 Solo, chorus
