You spend your time in smokey rooms
Where haggled old women with cheap perfume say
It never happens for people like us, you know
Well, nothing ever happened on its ownWell, now the toilets smells of desperation
The streets all echo of aggravation
And you wonder why you can't get no sleep
When you got nothing to do and you had nothing to eatYour lifes slipping and sliding right out of view
And theres absolutely nothing that you can do, wellWell live and die, well live and die in these towns
Dont let it drag you down, dont let it drag you down now
Well live and die, well live and die in these towns
Dont let it drag you down, dont let it drag you down nowDirty dishes from a TV meal
That went cold from the wind through a smashed up window
You cant go out if anybody calls you
Cause you can't have a bath when theres no hot waterAnd your friends are out on the town again
And you ask yourself if it all ever end
And its all too much for your head to take
Just a matter of time before you break, wellWell live and die, well live and die in these towns
Dont let it drag you down, dont let it drag you down now
Well live and die, well live and die in these towns
Dont let it drag you down, dont let it drag you down now
Oh now, oh nowWell live and die, well live and die in these towns
Dont let it drag you down, dont let it drag you down now
Well live and die, well live and die in these towns
Dont let it drag you down, dont let it drag you down now
