Nice End of Town

You need a damn backbone to live in this perfect home To live in this perfect street Where mothers only smoke in parked cars while their kids are at school Security cameras on watch out for the people you've trodden on Just to get one step closer to getting out Of this damn town Was this what you dreamed of? Was this the life you hoped for? The nice end of town but you're still kept down Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us Hide your old self under the floorboards And cover it with over-priced carpet Keep renovating the kitchen try and distract from what you're missing Keep pretending that you made it out That you're proud of who you are now Postcode lottery can't change who you used to be Was this what you dreamed of? Was this the life you hoped for? The nice end of town but you're still kept down Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us You've climbed up on some pedestal you've built Looking down on us through your rose-tinted guilt Like it's our fault you voted to keep us here Keep pushing your innocence and pray for our ignorance Was this what you dreamed of? Was this the life you hoped for? The nice end of town but you're still kept down Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us The nice end of town but you're still kept down Sugar coated insecurity you're just like the rest of us
