I'm nearly ready to give up this. As surely as I shoot, I miss. A symphony of a shattered, broke down town. The silence rings so loud you could feel the sound. Haven't I payed my dues? I dare you to walk a block in my shoes Haven't I payed my dues? Got nothing left so i know I can't lose Don't ask me why i have to go But these small town dreams are not for us Yeah we'll have to mend this heart But it seems like we have nothing left And we'll have to run away Cause we're built for so much more. We're nearly ready to look in the rear-view And never turn around cause we won't see you We've gotta leave this shattered, broke down town Our souls so light that our feet won't touch the ground Haven't we paid our dues? Our voices so loud Haven't we paid our dues? Our hands are so high. This is ours for the taking. This is ours
