Poverty With A View

I grew up in a small town where everybody was family But when my daddy went to jail, didn't one motherfucker call me I grew up in a small town next to a big ol' crack And when I knocked that girl up young They just talked shit behind my back I grew up in a small town where all my friends did meth And as I count up all these funerals, feeling closer to death I grew up in a small town, still live in one today (I'm growing roots into this decaying stage) (Just an ancient old DJ, hey, hey) I guess small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs I guess that small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs I live in a small town, we all go to the same bars I live in a small town under a million stars With a big ol' telescope and sandbags in the yards I live in a town where every heart has a million scars And I can feel the pain just walking down the street That guy on the corner ain't insane, he just ain't got no food to eat If you sell every house to some retiring snowbird The economy here just ain't gon' keep moving forward If you sell everything to some out-of-town jerk Then who in the fuck is gonna do all the work? (Oh) I guess small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs I guess that small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs It's late at night, and I'm so drunk that I'm floating Small town vibes and ain't one goddamn thing open I'll heat up some beans I dug out of the pantry Poverty with a view, high rent, but ain't living fancy And I can feel the pain just walking down the street That guy on the corner ain't insane, he just ain't got no food to eat And I could give a fuck who you vote for president Just help out all my friends 'cause they can barely make the rent (Each pay, son, fuck it) I guess small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs I guess that small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs I guess small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs I guess that small towns ain't as cool as they say in country songs Anything else then? (I love this song, song, this song)
