Town Without Pity

When you’re young and so in love and free

And bewildered by the world you see

Why do people hurt you so

Only those in love would know

What a town without pity can do

When we stop to gaze upon a star

People talk about how mad we are

Ours is such an evil age

We’re like flowers in a cage

What a town without pity can do

Yeah, we have problems, many problems

We need an understanding heart

Why don’t they help us, try to help us

Before this grey and granite planet falls apart

Take these eager lips and hold me fast

I’m afraid this kind of joy can’t last

How can we keep love alive

How can anything survive

When these little minds tear you in two

What a town without pity can do

How we can we keep love alive

How can anything survive

When these little minds tear you in two

What a town without pity can do

No it isn’t very pretty

What a town without pity...pause can do
