This Is My Town (Acoustic)

from Acoustic Sessions Vol. 1 by hiyimi

lyrics

You wanna barge in guns blazing and tear down the walls
Wanna force in opinions like we care to know
But watch from a distance and stand in defiance
If you got things to say then don't stand there in silence
‘Cause round here, I'm the one who wears the suit
You wanna live in my town, you got to play by my rules
But you cover your ears and pretend you don't hear it
‘Cause you hate the way you can't control how we're living

And I don't need your senseless love
‘Cause it's not really me you're thinking of

What did you think we would all be feeling
When you force your way in and start preaching
Your one-way, black-and-white belief system
Yeah, I can go off. I don't need no reasons
This is my town
I can burn it down
And build it up how I want
I don't owe you no reasons

Don't come and cause trouble
Better stay out of my bubble
‘Cause a house ain't a home till you're comfortable in it
If you want a good life, then you live without limits
And round here, I'm the one who takes the lead
You wanna live in my town, you got to learn this one thing
'Cause I'm not living for you, I'm living for me
And I built these walls just to keep you from breaking in

'Cause I don't need your senseless love
‘Cause it's not really me you're thinking of


What did you think we would all be feeling
When you force your way in and start preaching
Your one-way, black-and-white belief system
Yeah, I can go off. I don't need no reasons
This is my town
I can burn it down
And build it up how I want
I don't owe you no reasons

Your one-way, black-and-white belief system
Means nothing to me so don’t give me no reasons

I don't need your worthless love
‘Cause it's not really me you're thinking of

What did you think we would all be feeling
When you force your way in and start preaching
Your one-way, black-and-white belief system
It's built up on lies and baseless accusations

‘Cause this is my town
I can burn it down
And build it up how I want
I don't owe you no reasons

Ooh
Burn it down

I don't owe you no reasons
