The Act - My town

Growing up past twenty
In a rush to be alive
One by one they call me crazy
But I'm fine
Growing up in nowhere
On the right side of the tracks
In a way it made me crazier
Feeling cracked
I'm going back to the core
Your alarm sounds like a whisper
I'll be around forever more
Keep it down cause I'm keeping score
Make no sound, it's time to listen
Mister
Growing up to perfect
Being destined to prevail
Everyone will see I'm crazy
When I fail
Raised for ambition
Being all that I can be
You know I'm going crazy
Going free
I'm going back to the core
Your alarm sounds like a whisper
I'll be around forever more
Keep it down cause I'm keeping score
Make no sound, it's time to listen
Mister
I'll be going on without ambition
You're on a leash, I'm on a mission
You say stay on path or you'll be torn
But I've been doing my thing since I was born
I'll change my ways when you change the system
Mister
My town
You grew me up and then you let me down
You filled me up and then you let me drown
I need to go can't stand to hear
Your made up shows, your made up cheers
Your patronising, paralysing fears
Are fading out like shadows in the mist
I'm going now, so put me on that list
Of failures and of targets missed
Of memories of misguided bliss
They're just another reason to resist
I'm going back to the core
Your alarm sounds like a whisper
I'll be around forever more
Keep it down cause I'm keeping score
Make no sound, it's time to listen
Mister
I'll be going on without ambition, mister
You're on a leash, I'm on a mission, listen mister
You say stay on path or you'll be torn
But I've been doing my thing since I was born
Won't change my ways, hey
So keep your distance
Mister
