They used to say that I owned this town
Hold my head way up high
I wore my pride like a golden crown
Never wondering why
I'd always win at the same low steaks
Read the room with one eye
The newest trends in our politics
I was first to arrive
Running from the man, still got open hands
Generation of demands, leaves me singing
Suffering my soul
Sees the reason why
Answers that we find
Leave us wide eyed
Hold it in your hand
See the other side
Then burn it from your mind
From your mind
I know is easy to chase the crowd
You're never really alone
I ruled a city that knew my name
But I was never at home
They whisper now how I lost my crown
Ain't it sad how it goes
But now I say what I want to say
And I reap what I sow
Running from the man, still got open hands
Generation of demands, leaves me singing
Suffering my soul
Sees the reason why
Answers that we find
Leave us wide eyed
Hold it in your hand
See the other side
Then burn it from your mind
From your mind
