lyrics

Let me tell you about a girl from a two-bit town
Where the height of entertainment is another mindless beating
I met her in a dingy club where the wounded come to dance
She was wearing Topshop's summer line and swaying to The Smiths
She's been reading all the magazines
Dreaming of the lives she sees
She said 'I would sell my soul to live that life'
I said 'Someday we'll get out, but this town will never change'

See, the thing about this girl, it isn't her sense of style
It isn't her taste for indie; it's that she has a dream
She wants to be a little more than a sales assistant
But there's nothing in this place, just disappointment
She's been staring at the silver screen
Dreaming of the lie she sees
She said 'I would sell my soul to live that life'
I said 'Someday we'll get out, but this town will never change'

There's turmoil in this town
What do you we do now?
