lyrics

All my friends are overworked and underpaid

Resigned to think that it will always be this way

The storefronts change
But our problems stay the same

And if you stay here long enough
Soon you won't recognize a face



We have been let down
By a place that never promised us a thing

For our wasted loyalty
To a city of thieves


Take it back
Take it all back
You can have your legacy
No one said you had to stay here
You could've left
You wanted this
Your captive audience awaits
But no one stays
No one stays

Borrowed time
We're here on borrowed time
The first to know
But always the last to go
But I can't take anymore
Of this revolving door
This isn't a home
This is fool's gold


We are too far gone
Desperately thought
We could make a change
But it's all too little too late
This town can't be saved


Take it back
Take it all back
You can have your legacy
No one said you had to stay here
You could've left
You wanted this
Your captive audience awaits
But no one stays
No one stays

Take what you can
And leave like all the rest
You'll be replaced
And those who stay
Will continue to bear the weight
In a land of opportunity

Borrowed time
We're all here on borrowed time
We dragged our weight in gold
And tried to call this home
But there's no golden road
And there's no place like home
