Oh yeah!

Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala

You get no kick out of champagne
Things make you sick by staying the same
So lame
And if you think that you know everybody
And if it seems inspiration is gone
Days when it feels like nothing can turn you on

[Chorus]
Open your eyes to the life in this small town
How many times you've been leaving?
Oh yeah
And so it seems we keep coming back home
So open your eyes to the life in this small town

Hahahahalala
Hahahahalala

I always run straight to the flames
I've lost my face in a thousand ways
Oh yeah
Still you give a damn about my reputation
Take me as I am
You are my family
If you get lonely you know where you will find me

[Chorus]

And there is no way out
If you don't wanna talk about it
If you don't wanna turn around
I wanna have confidence in you

Hahahahalala
Hahahahalala

Uh-huh, hey!

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar yet, I cant seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up, with me
All these changes taking, place
I wish Id seen the place
But no ones ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldnt recall,
for Im not my former
Its hard when youre stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps thats what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
My God its been so long, never dreamed youd return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (3x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...

I heard a place not too far from here
Is handing out answers
About why we are here
And it's a small town in a small world
And the congregation's small too
But somehow I think they're telling the truth

And in the same small town there is a girl
She's a good looker but she's mad at the world
And she's wondering about tomorrow and why she's here
She's sick and tired of using her sleeves to wipe her tears

And oh oh,
You can tell by the look that's in her eyes
She's not that well
She's wishing someone would close their eyes
And picture this for just a moment to theirselves

And oh, at least that's what they say [x5]

She sits alone
She's a re-run queen
The sun shines through her window
Enough to make out her figurine
The neighbours look at her strange
'Cos she's lived there her whole life
And they still don't know her name
She likes to keep to herself
'Cos she can't find nobody else

And oh oh,
You can tell by the look that's in her eyes
She's not that well
She's wishing someone would close their eyes
And picture this for just a moment to theirselves

And oh, at least that's what they say, yeah
That's what they say [x2]
And oh, at least that's what they say, yeah

What they say [x4]
I don't care
What they say [x4]
I don't care
What they say [x4]
I don't care
Nooo....

She wanders through the town
To find this place she's heard about
Thinking maybe they can figure out what's wrong
And oh, they greet her with a smile
Saying they've been waiting for quite some while
Just to let her know she's worth more than she's ever dreamed of

And her heart opens wide
And for the first time in her life
She feels the touch of Jesus deep inside
And oh, she wonders what went wrong
In a town where nothing's going on
And thinks of all the others that she knows

And she said [x9]
Wanna leave out her name [x7]
Nooo [x7]

She wanders through the town
To find this place she's heard about
Thinking maybe they can figure out what's wrong
And oh, they greet her with a smile
Saying they've been waiting for quite some while
Just to let her know she's worth more than she's ever dreamed of

When youre growing up in a small town
When youre growing up in a small town
When youre growing up in a small town
You say, no one famous ever came from here

When youre growing up in a small town
And youre having a nervous breakdown
And you think that youll never escape it
Yourself or the place that you live

Where did picasso come from
Theres no michelangelo coming from pittsburgh
If art is the tip of the iceberg
Im the part sinking below

When youre growing up in a small town
Bad skin, bad eyes, gay and fatty
People look at you funny
When youre in a small town

My father worked in construction
Its not something for which Im suited
Oh, what is something for which you are suited
Getting out of here

I hate being odd in a small town
If they stare let them stare in new york city
As this pink eyed painting albino
How far can my fantasy go

Im no dali coming from pittsburgh
No adorable lisping capote
My hero, oh, do you think I could meet him
Id camp out at his front door

There is only one good thing about small town
There is only one good use for a small town
There is only one good thing about small town
You know that you want to get out

When youre growing up in a small town
You know youll grow down in a small town
There is only one good use for a small town

You hate it and youll know you have to leave

Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities

All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity

Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me

But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me

No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be

Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me

Well I was born in a small town
And I can breath in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar yet, I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)

I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldnt recall, for I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...

I also like to blow holes in the head of rednecks

If I, strolled into your town
Would you, follow me around?
If I, I hung out on your block, would you telephone a cop?

[Shaggy 2 Dope]
If I was new around here and hittin' on your daughter
And took her to the creek and fucked her in the water
Then she brought me home, and I put on your robe
Would you be mad enough to let your barrels explode?

If I, sold your son cocaine,
Would you, put a bullet in my brain?
If I, I stole your favorite your favorite cow,
Would you cock the hammer back and be like POW!
I BET YOU WOULD!

I think I like it here, okay I'll stay (It fits me!)
I think I like it here, I'm moving in today! (Come and get me!)
I think I like it here, okay I'll stay (It fits me!)
I think I like it here, I'm moving in today! (Come and get me!)

You daughter, she just had sex with me (I fucked that girl)
I fed her, some drink and XTC
If I don't steal your cow, would you let me live in your barn?

[Shaggy 2 Dope]
I don't have a problem with small town folk
I like y'all, as soon as I flip this dope
I'mma open a tittie bar next to the school
I'm glad we all neighbors, I mean, it's cool!

If I showed up at your church, drunk out my mind
Would you still let me sip up on that red wine?
If we, we played your shitty town,
Would you help me and pass these fliers 'round?

I think I like it here, okay I'll stay (It fits me!)
I think I like it here, I'm moving in today! (Come and get me!)
I think I like it here, okay I'll stay (It fits me!)
I think I like it here, I'm moving in today! (Come and get me!)

[Violent J]
Southern love baby, don't doubt
Don't let my records fool you, I'm about it
I love fat rednecks who fuck they kids, beat they wife and yet serve no bids
Only judge in town, he also the cop
He also the barber at the hair chop shop
He the mayor, clerk
And what I'm speakin', shit, he the one fuckin' his kids and wife beatin'
There ain't no law gonna punish himself
And that's why the carnival's bad for ya' health
When we get there, we gonna get rid of ya'
They gonna find a piece of ya' head in Bolivia
I'll lay you out front with your corpse to rest and a hatchetman flag
Stickin' outta ya chest
Say hello to the new sheriff Violent J. with one law, let there be
Juggaloism all day!

I think I like it here, okay I'll stay (It fits me!)
I think I like it here, I'm moving in today! (Come and get me!)
I think I like it here, okay I'll stay (It fits me!)
I think I like it here, I'm moving in today! (Come and get me!)
I think I like it here, okay I'll stay (It fits me!)
I think I like it here, I'm moving in today! (Come and get me!)
I think I like it here, okay I'll stay (It fits me!)
I think I like it here, I'm moving in today! (Come and get me!)

I think I like it
Fuck it, I'm staying
Right here, I like it!
Hey! I like it! Yeah!

Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities

All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity

Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic thats me

But Ive seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an l.a. doll and brought her to this small town
Now shes small town just like me

No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be

Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say look whos in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and thats good enough for me

Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And thats probly where theyll bury me

You feel frozen
But you've been chosen
You lay there drunken
Your dreams seem sunken

Your world's a small world
And you break the rules
You're one big fish
In a pool of fools

Tired of serving up you town
Tired of wearing that crown
Tired of sliding up and down
Tired of being you

Your work's no future
Your girl don't suit you
The bar won't serve you
You have no nerve to

Take a break
From this sad old school
Accross the lake
Lies a place that's cool

Run you've got a place to go
Run you've got a boat to row
Run you've got a face to show
Run while you can

The high street's sleeping
As friday's creeping
The shops are open
But their minds are closed

How's it going but it's not their concern
They talkin' stuff about you
That you never learn

Smile, you're on your own
Smile, 'cause you've outgrown
Smile, you lost your home
Smile to yourself
