| Hometown hero’s not what I am
|
| They don’t give a fuck they don’t give a damn
|
| People talk shit cuz I follow my dreams
|
| Well I’ve been hearing that line since I was 15
|
| From the start they didn’t want me around
|
| Playing punk shows on the edge of town
|
| In a basement I rage and throw down
|
| But if I knew then what I know now
|
| I got a lot of goals that I’ll probably never reach
|
| I got a lot of shit that I really wanna see
|
| But I don’t really know where to go or what to be
|
| And it seems like everybody is picking on me
|
| I play a show to like ten people every time
|
| And I won’t stop until I motherfucking reach the line
|
| I’m out of my mind but yo I feel fine
|
| I’m out of my mind but yo I feel fine
|
| (I ain’t no)
|
| They say you change
|
| What does it mean, it’s so strange
|
| I still feel like a failure in my brain
|
| Ego like a mic gets broken and deranged
|
| Back on the road, I’m playing the long game
|
| At home I’m on the couch
|
| Fucked up thinking about another route
|
| Can’t go back and I can’t get out
|
| Mind on the grind yo there is no doubt
|
| I was at a bar last night
|
| Got a bunch of shit for my dreams and my life
|
| From a punk rocker with a 9 to 5
|
| And I just wanna stay alive
|
| Then I went home and they cut the power out
|
| I sat in the darkness and I started to shout
|
| That’s the shit I hate yo
|
| Hometown Hero man I ain’t no
|
| (I ain’t no)
|
| I’ll never be
|
| I never was
|
| They say you gotta get out when you’re young
|
| But man I got nowhere to run
|
| Living like I’m under the gun
|
| And I’m not having any fun
|
| They say you gotta get out when you’re young
|
| But man I’m just fucking dumb
|
| I feel so trapped but I gotta fight back
|
| Keep working but it’s never done
|
| Yeah, people like to talk but I pay no mind
|
| I can’t even stop when I’m in the rhyme
|
| I’ve seen teen dreams getting torn
|
| In the same fucking town where they were born
|
| And when they die
|
| Man they don’t come back
|
| When they die
|
| You start to crack
|
| And when they die man you’re never the same
|
| You’re just a rustbelt creep on a downbound train
|
| And oh my god man you’re going insane
|
| You gotta start running just to ease the pain
|
| But I can’t stop, I gotta go
|
| Hometown hero man I ain’t no
|
| I’ll never be
|
| I never was
|
| (I Ain’t No)
|
| Hometown Hero
|
| And I’ll Never Be |
