Where We Stand

The summer sun has sunk down.
I catch the bus and I head downtown.
I'm going to Lou's tonight to see the show tonight.
Where all of my friends are found.
I step into the club and I see Janie Jones.
She's been singing real loud and she's been dancing all night.
She shakes her fist to society's face,
Cause nothing can bring her down.

We've got pockets full of nothing,
But let me tell you something.
Everything is gonna be alright.

Cause I got this city and I got my heart.
Nothing can tear us apart.
Nothing can bring us down.

I've got a bottle full of dreams and all night to drink away.
With a head full demons, driving me insane.
We stand aside from the crowd, and we go our separate ways.
Walk into the corner store on Orange Avenue,
Back when it was just me and you.
Hand in hand, we never had a plan.
And no one could understand.

We've got pockets full of nothing,
But let me tell you something.
Everything is gonna be alright.

Cause I got this city and I got my heart.
Nothing can tear us apart.
Nothing can bring us down.

This is who we are and this is where we stand.
We don't expect you to understand.
You can't bring us down.
