Simple City Lyrics by Defeat the Low

A Nervous Smile

2014

[Verse 1]
Pick your purpose, pick your goal
Go with something you've been shown
Because you're so out of touch and misdirected
Once again you're disconnected
[Chorus]
We've killed our city with these scenes
We've really made a mess of things
This is holding my attention anymore
We've traded in our honesty and all of our creativity
For someone else's dreams
[Verse 2]
That's all you do is assume that there is nothing you can do
That's all you do is assume that there is nothing you can do
I'd beg to differ that you'd see that your past ways are not unique
With your bait and your switch, you are not fooling me
[Chorus]
We've killed our city with these scenes
We've really made a mess of things
This is holding my attention anymore
We've traded in our honesty and all of our creativity
For someone else's dreams
[Bridge]
I never need to speak, I don't ever need to speak
I sit back and watch as you--I sit back and just let you--
As you talk, you talk yourself deep into a hole
Into your trench of ignorance
[Chorus]
We've killed our city with these scenes
We've really made a mess of things
This is holding my attention anymore
We've traded in our honesty and all of our creativity
For someone else's dreams
