Trouble Town

Stuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
Is the thought of gettin' out

There's a tower block overhead
All you got's your benefits
And you're barely scrapin' by

In this trouble town
Troubles I've found
In this trouble town
Word soon gets round

Kick the ball to make troubles flee
And smoke until our eyes bleed
The spark will 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 I've found

Sittin' on the pavement
Boy you 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 gettin' 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 I've found

In this trouble town
Fools I've found

Sittin' on the pavement
Boy you missed your payment
And they're gonna find you soon

If there's a beating in the street
If there's a feelin' 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 gettin' out
