[Verse 1]
I've seen gypsies who made it all the way
And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
[Chorus]

To my town
Bitching, complaining and some people ain't got shit to eat
Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they ain't got
[Verse 2]
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
