about

About growing up in a small town middle-of-nowhere in Germany

lyrics

there was a victory or two
some minor fireworks for you
any time you panicked a little candy did the trick
what a scary little place
what a dull and boring space
built to make you run away and not come back

yes they love their local aliens
for they grace this hopeless spot
if they ever see you stumble they will love to see you fall

I never liked this town

we've got toygrounds for the lame
for the blind for the insane
and I'm sure we'll find a place for boys like you
some of us are meant to rule
some of us can play the fool
as long as no one screws up with the scheme

this is your land of opportunity
your golden age of chance
just make sure you never stumble we'll enjoy to watch your fall

I never liked this town

I never liked this
