Stuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
Is the thought of getting outThere's a tower block overhead
All you've got's your benefits
And you're barely scraping byIn this trouble town
Troubles are found
In this trouble town
Words do get 'roundKick the bottom make troubles flee
Smoke until our eyes would bleed
Sparkle pop the seedHear the sirens down the street
The kids get light on their feet
Or they'll be in the back seatIn this trouble town
Troubles are foundSitting on the pavement
Boy you've missed your payment
And they're gonna find you soonIf there's a beating in the rain
If there's a little bit of pain, man
You're the one it happens toIf I talk of getting out
I only hear the laughter loud
It's gotten ugly at homeSomewhere there's a secret road
To take me far away I know
But til then I am hollowIn this trouble town
Troubles are found
In this trouble town
Fools are foundSitting on the pavement
Boy you've missed your payment
And they're gonna find you soonIf there's a beating in the street
If there's a feeling of defeat
You're the one it happens toStuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
Is the thought of getting out
