When we were young, we had it rough Short on money, short on love That's how the wayside takes The wayside keeps its ghosts Thick as thieves, my fears and me We've been wrong and now ten years deep That's how the wayside takes And it keeps a hold on me Oh, I'm living in a no man's land Nowhere land, no place left to go When I'm running from myself I'm holding on to hope and struggling to cope And there's places I can't leave And they're leaving a mark on me So I'm living in a no man's land Everywhere I go, I'm running from myself Right age, wrong crowd Blamed it all on my hometown But it wasn't them They never let me down No, it was me I drank, I smoked I held it in until I choked Still, these roots are wrapped around my feet Oh, I'm living in a no man's land Nowhere land, no place left to go When I'm running from myself I'm holding on to hope and struggling to cope And there's places I can't leave And they're leaving a mark on me So I'm living in a no man's land Everywhere I go, I'm running from myself (I'm living in a no man's land) (I'm living) And there's places I can't leave When they're leaving a mark on me So I'm living in a no man's land Everywhere I go, I'm running from myself

I've seen those big machines come rolling through the quiet pines Blue suits and bankers with their Volvos and their valentines Give us this day our daily discount outlet merchandise Raise up a multiplex and we will make a sacrifice Now we're gonna get the big business Now we're gonna get the real thing Everybody's all excited about it Who remembers when it all began?
