lyrics

Verse1
29 years and I’m tired of this place
And I know every face and the lives that they waste
And I’ve seen people try and I’ve watched their hopes die
And their streets fall apart and their livelihoods fry

C) Why can’t this place just let me go

Verse 2
I’ve watched pretty towns move steadily down
Once greeted with smiles now just a frown
Community spirit once given with love
now just a haven for thugs and their drugs

C) Why can’t this place just let me go x2

Verse 3
The pigs are short staffed and the council ain’t there
Preferring new Phones to community care
nice housing estates now falling apart
Council tax spent on pointless street art

Why can’t this place just let me go

Verse 4
Jobs have died out and zero h rules
Agency work where they treat you like fools
Desperate faces in every shop door
90% of them begging to score

C) Why can’t this place just let me go x2

Verse 5
One face I knew a hardworking guy
Now sleeping by Tesco’s just waiting to die
His world in a trolley he takes every where
His dignity crushed as I watch people stare

C) Why can’t this place just let me go

Verse 6
It's hard to fit in and it’s hard to make friends
once an outsider outside till the end
I’ve been far from perfect I’ve lied and deceived
So maybe it’s karma that won’t let me leave

C) Why can’t this place just let me go x2
