This Town Could Do Better


If I had a twin brother
I would try to hook him up with you
He wouldn’t be perfect
But could do better
Than the piece of shit – we call, “You Know Who”

This fucking town
Is going to break your heart
That’s what it does
But I thought you knew
Back when you said
You’d seen gold turned to lead
And still believed in the golden rule

If I could build a golem
I’d build a golem just for you
Into his clay
I’d mix my best parts
And fill the rest with proverbs and glue

This fucking town
Is going to break your heart
That’s what it does
But I thought you knew
Back when you said
You’d seen gold turned to lead
And still believed in the golden rule

I wish you were more of a bitch
I wish you you’d stand a little more straight
But hey, look at me
I wouldn’t call me Caliban
But I am far, far from a saint

This fucking town
Is going to break our hearts
That’s what it does
I always knew
Back when you said
You’d seen gold turned to lead
I still believed in the golden rule

Yeah, I still believe in the golden rule
