lyrics

Nothing ever was picture perfect in the city cameras built
The factory laid off everybody and my hometown started to wilt
Workers were down in the dumps, most headed to the bars
They were thinking while they were drinking we've fallen off so far

Since there's nothing left to do, we'll drink away the afternoon
The rug's been pulled from underneath our feet
For now we'll just be having, throwing back another one
We may be down but this town won't be beat
Tomorrow we will stumble to our feet

From the 15th story window you can see all that remains
The shadows of the smokestacks are all that stayed the same
People were left with empty pockets as they struggled to survive
And the bars were packed so tightly that you couldn't get inside

Since there's nothing left to do, we'll drink away the afternoon
The rug's been pulled from underneath our feet
For now we'll just be having, throwing back another one
We may be down but this town won't be beat
Tomorrow we will stumble to our feet

Maybe we shouldn't be here -- Maybe we should go
But if we were gone -- How would we ever know?
What happened to the town we left behind?

Since there's nothing left to do, we'll drink away the afternoon
The rug's been pulled from underneath our feet
For now we'll just be having, throwing back another one
We may be down but this town won't be beat
Tomorrow we will stumble to our feet
