One Way (This Town)

Keep your hands in sight Where they can see Keep your thoughts inside Where they don't reach And I want to be walking Running on roads that I don't know But I know (I know) I'll stay silent 'Cause there's only one way to make it in this town There's a lie in this town There's a rumor about the way things go I heard people believe in choices And those people they think In this town they'll be heard But you have to be quiet and you already agreed With the rules of the cold-hearted men who lead No, no, no, no You throw me back on my knees Take from me all that I am We didn't come here to please But now it's out of our hands We put our lives on the line So you don't get to decide About the stories we tell and the music we write Who dares to sing them out loud There's only one way to make it in this town Now I've heard 'bout this place Where you get to be free to choose your ways Baby I still believe in choices But we already signed and we already agreed You throw me back on my knees Take from me all that I am We didn't come here to please But now it's out of our hands We put our lives on the line So you don't get to decide About the stories we tell and the music we write Back on my knees All that I am Come here to please Out of our hands We put our lives on the line Get to decide About the stories we tell and the music we write Who dares to sing them out loud Keep your hands in sight Where they can see Keep your thoughts inside Where they don't reach And I want to be walking Running on roads that they don't know But I know (I know) I'll stay silent 'Cause there's only one way to make it in this town
