| 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 |
