I live in the hedgerows
Spikes on my body
Like my colleagues, the hedgehogs
I'll hide when it goes wrong
I'm a smooth-tongued valley boy
Rays across the great pond
But all we've got are rats down here
They'll eat the dead corpses
The unpredictability of a full stomach
One day we're here
And the next day we're not
Just valley boys
We hate to complain
And we hate all this pain
We live in the fringes between happy and insane
When the sun shines down here
We'll hide in the shade
Seeking vengeance in our own little way
We're the valley boys
We've tried life up there
With the suffering and hurt
But it's safer down here on the edge of the curb
There's people who stay and there's people who go
And there's just us, indecisive valley boys
Yeah, there's no cars down here these days
Everyone's so settled, level, sanding tongues
It's not the same these days as it was in the '40s
We're the last of our kind
Just the few living valley boys
Emotional sacrifices every other day
Emotional sacrifices every other day
Emotional sacrifices every other day
Emotional sacrifices every other day
Emotional sacrifices every other day
Please think twice before joining us in the hedgerows
Just valley boys
