The Amoebas - Own This City

We started off with nothing
In a town which offered even less
Before we changed the scenery
Both agreeing that it was best
We forged our own path forward
Attacked existence like a quest
And though our lives are so much better
Somehow I'm still so damn depressed
Don't know why I keep talking
There's nothing left to discuss
Baby, we can't own this city
Because this city owns us
We once had dreams and ambitions
Once had stars in our eyes
Now we feel so defeated
We say this city is why
Don't know why I keep talking
There's nothing left to discuss
Baby, we can't own this city
'Cos this city owns us
I'm just a lug with a drug in a mug that I chug every Friday night
And I should learn to adjourn but I earn all the burn when I start a fight
And I can see why you flee far from me when I free my troubled soul
And when you cry I know why I have to try to make this fractured union whole
(Yeah)
It's not entirely location
Which I think we both know
But no matter what corner
This city is full of ghosts
Don't know why I keep talking
There's nothing left to discuss
Baby, we can't own this city
Because this city owns us
Don't know why I keep talking
There's nothing left to discuss
Baby, we can't own this city
Because this city owns us
I keep talking/why keep talking/just stop talking/stop talking (I wish this wasn't broken)
I keep talking/why keep talking/just stop talking/stop talking (I wish this wasn't broken)
I keep talking/why keep talking/just stop talking/stop talking
I'm sorry that it's broken
