[Verse 1]
When I think of how things are, right now it feels like
Yeah, it all feels like some kind of circus show
And how this town, it keeps you pinned down
To the same old song from years ago

[Chorus]
I know this place will chew you up
Then spit you out before you go
And when they drag you kicking and screaming from the scene
You know that it's time to leave

[Verse 2]
When I think of how this town, right now it's filled with
Speed-freaks and assholes and all kinds of creeps
And somehow every new face
In every single case, in a year or two will be erased

[Chorus]
I know this place will chew you up
Then spit you out before you go
And when they drag you kicking and screaming from the scene
You know that it's time to leave

[Bridge]
When I think of how I'm feeling right now
Somehow I still remember how I felt four years ago
And when I think of how things are right now
It's the same old song from years ago
[Chorus]
I know this place will chew you up
Spit you out before you go, I know, I know
And when they drag you kickin' and screamin' from the scene
You know that it's time to go

[Outro]
That it's time to go
