[Verse 1]
The faint stench of oven-cooked food seeping from the walls
That’s the convenience of turkey dinosaurs
These streets haven’t changed since
Since they were made
The tinnies in the park
Setting fire to the grass
Debi’s dad found out
Now the cops are coming down
But I guess
This is what we came for
[Chorus]
Why can’t we be beautiful? Like them
The kids on TV ain’t like me and my friends
Has it gotta be difficult? That dеpends
It’ll be a little hardеr if you wanna get out these ends
[Verse 2]
I never quite grasped how to get up off my ass
When the kids talk crap
‘bout my brother and my dad
I’d just take 'em all on
Getting beaten to a pulp
That’s family
Say whatever else you want
You get close to people and you lose ‘em down the line
But all the pointless mischief stays in my mind
But they all drop down
One at a time
[Chorus]
Why can’t we be beautiful? Like them
The kids on TV ain’t like me and my friends
Has it gotta be difficult? That depends
It’ll be a little harder if you wanna get out these ends
[Verse 3]
Now you made it out are you happy now?
That’s what I doubt
You think about it all the time
But you only go home to bury the dead
And the streets are the same
And the smells are the same
And the homes are the same
But the people they’ve changed
And I think they were right when they said
You’re over your head
‘Cause people are the place and I know that you hate
That small town mentality
No peculiarities
But you can’t run from
Run where you came from
[Chorus]
Why can’t we be beautiful? Like them
The kids on TV ain’t like me and my friends
Has it gotta be difficult? That depends
It’ll be a little harder if you wanna get out these ends
