Hobroken Dreams Lyrics - U.s. Bombs

Brought up as peasants at the bottom of the hill 

Hobroken's only view, a mountaintop rubber plant 

The factory whistle blows twice every day 

Smokestacks make the skies black 

So thick, I could hardly see 

I ain't gonna waste away for the price of steady pay 

Townsfolk look like zombies, gotta break away 

Got no welcome mats, you leave, no coming back 

Wasn't the first to take the same old crap 

This town no one leaves, this town no, no one sleeps 

So uptight, no one breathes, this town ain't for me 

Don't give me no lip 'cause I quit the hometown 

If that's all there is, keep it for yourself 

I've had a lot of steady jobs, I've had enough 

Another day's too much, gonna pack it up 

I'm city bound, catch the five fifteen out 

Going to the coast, hobroken nightmare 

Used to be a dream, hobroken nightmare, gotta break free
