Trouble Town lyrics

Stuck in speed bump city

Where the only thing that's pretty

Is the thought of getting out

There's a tower block overhead

All you've got's your benefits

And you're barely scraping by

In this trouble town

Troubles are found

In this trouble town

Words do get 'round

Kick the bottom make troubles flee

Smoke until our eyes would bleed

Sparkle pop the seed

Hear the sirens down the street

The kids get light on their feet

Or they'll be in the back seat

In this trouble town

Troubles are found

Sitting on the pavement

Boy you've missed your payment

And they're gonna find you soon

If there's a beating in the rain

If there's a little bit of pain, man

You're the one it happens to

If I talk of getting out

I only hear the laughter loud

It's got an ugly echo

Somewhere there's a secret road

To take me far away I know

But 'til then I am hollow

In this trouble town

Troubles are found

In this trouble town

Fools are found

Sitting on the pavement

Boy you've missed your payment

And they're gonna find you soon

If there's a beating in the streets

If there's a feeling of defeat

You're the one it happens to

Stuck in speed bump city

Where the only thing that's pretty

Is the thought of getting out
