Kicking around downtown<br />
See the people in the passing windows<br />
And their hungry, tired faces betray<br />
They wish they had somewhere better to go<br />
You know I'm no different<br />
With my hand deep in my pockets<br />
Thinking "it don't really matter where I end up tonight"<br />
<br />
[Chorus:]<br />
Because it's kind of hard to be a saint in the city<br />
Even though this ain't no city that I live in<br />
This pavement's worn from the circles that I walk in<br />
It just feels the same<br />
<br />
It feels like nothing's changed<br />
<br />
Going from town to town<br />
Or from house to house<br />
You know I just can't seem to get it right<br />
And I just don't want to see you tonight<br />
'Cause it's all the same buildings<br />
And it's all the same dirty streets<br />
Our little version of America<br />
Don't really mean shit to me<br />
<br />
Sometimes I feel more than the city can hold<br />
<br />
[Chorus]<br />
<br />
I can't live with the people I live with<br />
I can't work with the people I work with<br />
Some people say I just got an attitude<br />
Some people say I'm just hard to deal with<br />
<br />
I just try to survive<br />
<br />
Done some things that I'm not too proud of<br />
You know you never want to hurt the people you love<br />
Sometimes you've gotta look them in the eye and apologize
