There's only one way of life 
And that's your
own 

My father when I was younger
Took
me up on to the hill 
That looked down on the
city smog 
Above the factory spill
He said
this is where I come 
When I want to be
free
Well he never was in his lifetime 
But
these words stuck with me

I ran from all of
this 
And I climbed that highest hill 
And
looked down on my life
Beneath the factory
spill 
I looked down onto my life
As the
family disgrace 
Then to all my friends on the
starting line 
Their wages off to chase
And
all my friends and all their jobs
And all the
bloody waste

CHORUS 

I grew up,
learned to love and laugh 
Circled A's on the
underpass 
But the noise we thought would
never stop
Died a death as the punks grew
up
And we choked on our dreams 
We wrestled
with our fears 
Running through the heartless
streets
Chasing our ideas 

And the
problems of the world 
Won't be solved by this
guitar
And they won't stop coming either
By
the life I've had so far
And the bright lights
of my home town
Won't be getting any
dimmer
Though their calling has receded now

Like some old distant singer 
And they
don't seem so appealing 
To the eyes of this
poor sinner 

CHORUS
