Perdido Nino - This Town Lyrics

All around this town, it's clear by the sound, there's corruption and hate
All the people, are deceitful, a selfish shameful disease
And for those in need of a hand, it's so hard for me to understand
How can you walk away from a friend
Held down, no luck, about to give up
Ashamed and afraid, they're slowing fading away, collapsing under the weight
Something needs to be done before this world comes undone by destruction & hate
Looking around this town, I see
There's nothing to be found
But the sound of pain, disdain & greed
It's easy to see our system's desperate need of a new path and pace
Cause day after day, our hope is slipping away that we can rise to meet change
And for those in need of a friend, why's it so hard to try and understand
All they need is just a helping hand
Reach down, pull up, help them rise up
Standing tall with us all, we won't let no one fall, no more victims of hate
Staring into the sun, we can all live as one, no one dictates our fate
Looking around this town, I see
Is there more to be found
Than the sound of pain, disdain & greed
Looking around this town, I see
There's more to be found
Than the sound of pain, disdain & greed
