Lyrics
You feel frozen
You are emotionally numb or paralyzed.
But you've been chosen
You have been selected or destined for a particular path or role.
You lay there drunken
You lie there in a state of intoxication.
Your dreams seem sunken
Your aspirations or goals appear to have sunk or become unattainable.
Your world's a small world
Your world is limited or confined.
And you break the rules
You defy societal norms and regulations.
You're one big fish
You are significant or influential in a group of people who lack wisdom.
In a pool of fools
You stand out in a crowd of foolish individuals.
Tired of serving up you town
You are weary of serving your hometown.
Tired of wearing that crown
You are tired of carrying the burdens or responsibilities associated with your position.
Tired of sliding up and down
You are exhausted from the ups and downs of life.
Tired of being you
You are fatigued from being yourself.
Your work's no future
Your occupation or efforts have no promising future.
Your girl don't suit you
Your romantic partner is not a suitable match for you.
The bar won't serve you
The bar or pub refuses to serve you.
You have no nerve to
You lack the courage or boldness to take action.
Take a break
Take a break from the mundane and unhappy routine.
From this sad old school
The mentioned school is a source of sadness.
across the lake
There's a more appealing place across the lake.
Lies a place that's cool
That distant place is cool or attractive.
Run you've got a place to go
Encouragement to run away to a better place.
Run you've got a boat to row
Suggesting that you have the means to escape.
Run you've got a face to show
You have a positive identity to present.
Run while you can
Encouragement to take action while you still can.
The high street's sleeping
The main street is quiet or inactive.
As Friday's creeping
Friday is approaching slowly.
The shops are open
Stores are open, but people's minds are closed or indifferent.
But their minds are closed
A commentary on societal apathy.
How's it going but it's not their concern
People ask about your well-being, but it's not genuine concern.
They talkin' stuff about you
Rumors and gossip circulate about you.
That you never learn
You are criticized for not learning from past experiences.
Smile, you're on your own
You should find happiness within yourself.
Smile, 'cause you've outgrown
Find joy in personal growth and independence.
Smile, you lost your home
You have lost your sense of belonging or home.
Smile to yourself
Find contentment within your own thoughts.
