You could have had almost anything
But you threw it away,
But you threw it away.
To pursue your hometown strategies,
Remove your hometown strategies.

It's hard to see when you're on your guard,
That my concern does not involve you.
If you believe that you're on your guard,
But you lack a voice
And you have, you have no choice.
You have no choice.

You were too clever by half
And too stupid to notice.
They never took time to understand your motives.

It's hard to believe that
You've no time for anything
And why can't you see that
Your hometown's not everything?

Everyone is on a roll,
Searching for a purpose.
Everybody wants one,
But they never think it through.
