No ones come along long enough
To bring about a change
When your just another number
Piled onto another day

Following your daddy
And his daddy before him
When your in a losing state
You ain't got time to win

So it's Friday night at the local dive
Drowning in your sorrows
Cause everyone knows in a town like this
That there's no tomorrow

There's no need of worry
Cause there's a guarantee
That when you reach a certain age
Life will take you to the factory

And the factory gates is as far as you'll get
In the humming of this towns song
From your daily dawn to dusk
Your nightly dusk to dawn

To give you something new to do
You'd have to beg, steal, or borrow
Cause everyone knows in a town like this
That there's no tomorrow

As the old men on the corner
Rot from the inside out
It doesn't take long for the young
To figure that one out

You can shake your fist in anger
People do it all the time
Just make sure when your done with it
That you get back on the line

You taste the poison daily
Which numbs you to the marrow
Cause everyone knows in a town like this
That there's no tomorrow
