lyrics

For about four years I've hated this town, yeah so much I just
wanna get out, since graduation was long ago, please somebody get me out of this hole. Cause I don't want to get stuck in here
when I am thirty-four just talkin bout high school years. No I don't wanna be there, and I feel so stuck right here, back and forth, side to side, oh my dear...
My foot to the floor I will drive to the place where I can kick it with friends through the night, a place we'll talk about now and the past what the future holds,hangin out with not much to do, just aimless
with each other - is what we do...

Cause this ain't where it's at, and my friends will second that, and I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad but it's like were our own "Brat Pack", were always kickin back, nobody can take that and that is that, it's like it's all we have...
Woah! Woah!

Come on say "Oh! Oh! Get on the floor! Dance till you got no more!"
I know it's there somewhere, don't worry, I'll be there - to rock the party all night, to rock it till there's light our fists in the air
fighting the good fight.
Cause we were singing along to Peter Gabriel's "sledgehammer" song,
you know it's clear that tonight we belong in this place so I
step back to reflect in this town I hate, and at least just for a second... I think I might stay.

This ain't where it's at, and my friends will second that, and I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad but its like were our own "Brat Pack",
we're always kickin back, nobody can take that and that is that...

So I'll run away to the hopes that I have but still I fall asleep in the
arms of my past and when I wake so helpless and thinking of that, I
just lay back down... again, everyday...
So maybe later today I'll know, what I will do with my life as I know it,
maybe for now I'll drive back to that place where I belong and hope to God it hasn't changed...

This ain't where it's at, and my friends will second that, and I gotta admit sometimes it's pretty sad but it's like were our own "Brat Pack", we're always kickin back, nobody can take that and that is that, it's like it's all we have.
