fuck this song is so good. here's the lyrics straight from the insert that comes with the 7":
kicking around downtown
see the people in the passing windows
and their hungry, tired faces betray
they wish they had somewhere better to go
you know I'm no different
with my hands deep in my pockets thinking
it don't really matter where I end up tonight
"it's kinda hard to be a saint in the city"
even though this ain't no city that I live in
this pavements worn from the circles that I walk in
it just feels the same
it feels like nothings changed
going from town to town
or from house to house
you know I just can't seem to get it right
and I just don't wanna see you tonight
'cause it's all the same buildings
and all the same dirty streets
our little version of america
it don't really mean shit to me
sometimes I feel more than this city can hold
can't live with the people I live with
can't work with the people I work with
some people say I just got an attitude
some people say I'm just hard to deal with
I just try to survive
done some things I'm not too proud of
you know you never wanna hurt the people you love
sometimes you gotta look them in the eye and apologize
