You can be an average boy but trust that will never pay,
you can stay in this place and rot,
tooth decay.
I look around think to myself I want more,
I could be a DJ, I could even go on tour,
wanna find a way out yet im stuck in this rut,
I could go far still I'm wanted by the work fuss
The same faces on the same ish nothing changed,
Got ambition if they havent then i find it strange,
I need to find a way out of this wretched place, place, place,
im not gonna die in this town,
tired faces always bring me down,
im not alone.
So lets take these cards that we've been given,
cash them in until we're winning,
to you it might not look too pretty,
but tonight we're the kings of no hope city.
yeah, yeah, tonight we're the kings of no hope city.
Let's face some facts carbon stuck in the neighborhood,
I look around at these locals and they're dead wood,
These tired faces only bring me down i'm not alone,
In this together with a hole in my backbone,
Let's make the most of what we got we can make it work,
And there's no game without the pain note it's gonna hurt,
Lets play these cards that we've been dealt we can wipe them clean,
Tonight matthew I'm winning... Charlie Sheen.
Cannot take away from us what we haven't got,
We came to rap over (???) gonna blow your lot,
let's kick the hinges off the door we don't give a fuck,
cmon let's have it like we dont even need the luck.
I'm fed up of these places but i aint looking for no pity,
I'm thinkin to myself to you it might not look that pretty,
And I agree that this place is so shitty,
But tonight we're the kings of no hope city.
im not gonna die in this town
tired faces always bring me down
im not alone
So lets take these cards that we've been given,
cash them in until we're winning,
to you it might not look too pretty,
but tonight we're the kings of no hope city.
