We've been rotting in bars
Looking out at the cars
As they come barreling through

And they're wise not to stop
'Cause it don't take a lot
To get its talons into you

I see people go crazy
Get lazy with their life
Ain't got nothing to lose
You're better off dying
Than whining
'Cause this town's got too many of you

Oh Schenectady
I've been waiting so long for you to comfort
But that boy has moved on
Oh I can't escape the past, no
And I won't forget the truth, no
Schenectady
I am you

Good men go down
While the evil get crowned
No there ain't no reason at all
