You can leave the small town, but the small town follows you...

lyrics

In the middle of one summer
in the middle of the road
was a middle aged know it all
I was trying not to goad
In my last days here among you
I hope everybody sees
You'll never kill my spirit
You'll just sap it out of me
They're so focused on their platitudes
And the worship that they sell
What they call a living wage
is what I call a living hell
They will never really see themselves
what they're slowly turning to
You try to flee this small town
But the small town follows you

the dead are living everywhere
the dead are living everywhere

When they ask me what I want to be
I say free and happy nothing more
They object and want to chain me here
And expect me to conform
They like putting things in boxes
Writing fables in the sand
Polished buzzards can't be eagles
They'll wear out their feeble hands
Now my music is a hobby
And its not a good career
I call that the hill I'll die on
But the quicksand's creeping near
They're not chasing me with torches
But they're drowning me with glue
You swear to leave the small town
But the small town follows you

the dead are living everywhere
the dead are living everywhere
