[Verse 1]
Life in a slow dyin' town is no life for me
The faces in fools masquerade are so hard to see
My brothers and I are just pawns in a game
This town's like a tombstone bearin' our names
We live in these cities of rust
Like soldiers of dust

[Verse 2]
Leave it or love it, when push comes to shove it's the same
The colors are not black or white, red, blue, or gray
Love is a crime when your heart's on your sleeve
Sisters of mercy look sad-еyed to me
Drowning in rivers of rust
Likе angels of dust

[Verse 3]
Here is the handout-less fate of a hardworkin' one
Judged by the money you make and where you came from
I know there's somethin' bigger than these
It's not what you're told, it's what you believe
We live in these cities of rust
Like soldiers of dust
We live in these cities of rust
Like soldiers of dust
