Lyrics
Something's not right today
Feeling that something is wrong today.
Gonna try and walk it off
Attempting to cope by trying to move past the issue.
Through shattered window panes
Observing a broken environment or situation.
I can hear the people talking
Hearing conversations among people, possibly about the problem.
No smiles and no hellos
Absence of friendly gestures like smiles and greetings.
And no one seems to know the answer why this city's sick
Perceiving a lack of understanding about why the city is troubled.
And the bus is full of people leaving
Noticing people leaving the city, possibly due to its issues.
I could trouble you like you trouble me
Expressing the capability to trouble others as much as they trouble the speaker.
And I aint too scared to face you
Not afraid to confront the situation or the person causing trouble.
I could trouble you like you trouble me
Reiterating the ability to trouble others in response to being troubled.
And I aint too scared to face you
Emphasizing the lack of fear in facing challenges.
This is our town and we live here
Claiming ownership and belonging to the town.
This is our town and we're a crowd
Stating unity and togetherness as a community within the town.
A ripped up coat there lay
Describing a discarded, damaged item in a place where children usually play.
On a patch of land where children play
Highlighting a contrast between a damaged item and children's innocence.
They're probably tucked up safe
Suggesting the safety of children despite concerns.
But I worry for the story
Expressing worry about the underlying story or issue.
No smiles and no hellos
Reiterating the absence of friendliness or communication among people.
And no one seems to know the time in which the tide will turn
Uncertainty about when the situation will improve.
And we can bathe in glory
Hope for a future where there can be celebration or success.
I could trouble you like you trouble me
Reiterating the ability to trouble others as they trouble the speaker.
And I aint too scared to face you
Asserting bravery in facing challenges or confronting others.
I could trouble you like you trouble me
Repeating the idea of causing trouble in response to being troubled.
And I aint too scared to face you
Emphasizing courage in facing adversity.
This is our town and we live here
Declaring ownership and residence within the town.
This is our town and we're a crowd
Reinforcing unity and solidarity as a community.
It aint yours, it aint mine, this is our town
Stating collective ownership of the town by its inhabitants.
