Can't Kick up the Roots Songtext

von Neck Deep

The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses
But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is
It can be grim and send you west from time to time
Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck but this shipwreck, it is mine
Day by day we grew to love this place

And where I'll make my grave, my anchor lays
I've been wasting away

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway
If you're looking for a place to decay
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry
I've seen a punch or two, narrowly escaped a few

And if you can get the day off, I could show you a view
I remember the football games, the first time that I got laid
And the time Jay broke his finger drinking by the lake
Day by day we grew to love this place
And where I'll make my grave is where my anchor lays

The sound of my youth echoes out through these empty streets
I guess I can't kick up the roots
It's home and that's the truth
I've been wasting away
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway

If you're looking for a place to decay
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry

We know what it's like to be put down

So fuck you to the world and stand your ground
We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit rowdy
We know what it's like to be put down

So fuck you to the world and stand your ground
We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit...
I've been wasting away
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway
If you're looking for a place to decay
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry
I'm not stuck I'm staying
Yeah I said, I'm not stuck I'm staying
And if you've got sorrows to drown and the bottom's where you're bound
You will always have a place in my town called revelry
