Fatima Mansions - Brain Blister lyrics

(Hogan)

I'm stuck in the city I was born

They've outlawed rock and roll and porn

and I know I don't belong here

everyone I know will stay

but god I really want to get away

I'm stuck with the crowd who hates a crowd

they don't know how to live out loud

the city sleeps at 10 o clock

the bars are closed , the doors are locked

no place that we can go, nowhere to rock

you built this city.... to make me feel shitty

you built this city ... get out while you can

I'm gonna move to Nashville

start a rock and roll band

and point two fingers up on each side of my hand

and I don't give a shit if anybody understands me now

I'm in the city of broken hearts and broken dreams

and my soul lies there somewhere in between

but I'm playing my heart out now

yeah, I'm playing my heart out now

I'm playing my heart out now, in a rock and roll band

I love the way you sit at home and talk about everyone

I love the way you think that shit's so much fun

I'm not knocking all that crap you do

Its fine with me, if it's ok with you

but some of us have better things to do

I wish I had a girl to share my dreams

but she's not where I'm at it seems

and the bus ride out of here's so long

this moment in time finds me alone

but that's the only way I've ever known
