about

This is the first single from debut album 'Canada' which is released on 9th October 2015.

lyrics

Does anybody know the way out of this hole
Because my eyes are turning grey from the concrete in my soul?
Does anybody know the way out of this middle class hell
Where they whittle down your soul into something that will sell?

Callous and cold, the same routine
Founded a religion based around blasphemy

You walk down our streets and they tell you what to wear
But don't listen to them
Just listen to me

Mary was a country girl
She kept it to herself
She wove it on the lining of her silken evening coat

You walk down our streets and they tell you what to wear
But don't listen to them
Just listen to me

Think of violence
Think of evil
You say it's 'cause there is too many people
In this city, in this town
It's no good to be around
I think I'll make a swift escape

You walk down our streets and they tell you what to wear
But don't listen to them
Just listen to me

I don't look right
We are not the same as you
I don't feel right
We are not the same as you
So you say

You walk down our streets and they tell you what to wear
But don't listen to them
Just listen to me

Cities Burn
The Cities Burn
It looks pretty if you don't live in the city
Cities Burn
The Cities Burn
It looks pretty if you don't live in the city
All your violence and your downtown dirt is just a game to us
All your laughter and your downtown mirth is just a call to us to get on the bus
I've got a mortgage on my back
I'm walking heart attack 'round here

Cities Burn
The Cities Burn
It looks pretty if you don't live in the city
Cities Burn
The Cities Burn
It looks pretty if you don't live in the city
All your violence and your downtown dirt is just a game to us
All your laughter and your downtown mirth is just a call to us to get on the bus
I've got a mortgage on my back
I'm walking heart attack 'round here
