Yarn - Schenectady lyrics

We've been rotting in bars
Looking out at the cars
As they come barreling through

And they're wise not to stop
'Cause it don't take a lot
To get it's talons into you

I see people go crazy
Get lazy with their life
Ain't got nothing to lose
You're better off dying than whining
'Cause this town's got too many of you
Oh Schenectady
I've been waiting so long for you to comfort
But that boy has moved on
Oh, I can't escape the past, no
And I won't forget the truth, no schenectady
I am you

Good men go down while the evil get crowned
No there ain't no reason at all

We got cops doing lines
While beating their wives
Claiming they're the law

Won't be long before legends are born
To be lifting this century long curse
So if you were born in this town
No need to look down
'Cause life don't get any worse

Oh Schenectady
I've been waiting so long for you to comfort
But that boy has moved on
Oh, I can't escape the past, no
And I won't forget the truth, no schenectady
I am you
