What can I do?
Acknowledging personal limitations as an individual.
I'm just a person
Reflecting on a recurring lie or false narrative.

You just sit and things get worse and
Highlighting the worsening situation when action is not taken.
Watch tv and drink your beer

Got to put an end to this

Restless misery

I'm just one of those restless people
Identifying as one of the restless individuals dissatisfied with life.
That can never be satisfied with living
Expressing perpetual dissatisfaction with living in the city.
In this sick old, sick old, sick, sick, sick city
Repeatedly emphasizing the sickness and negative qualities of the city.
It might be too late for me to say goodbye
Reflecting on the possibility that it's too late to leave or change.
Might be too late to watch this sick, old city die
Suggesting a sense of resignation or acceptance of the city's decline.
Go on the road
Expressing a decision to leave the city and hit the road.
Yeah, I'm going to try to say
Committing to trying to articulate a farewell to the sick city.
Sick city so long, goodbye and die.
Repeating the farewell sentiment with a stark finality.
