lyrics

everyone with a good joke to tell
has made it out of this town
they traded in the friends they knew too well
just for a chance at getting out
well i can't blame them would you look around?
there's not much left of the dreamers they left
i'm a cocktail umbrella in a thunderstorm
watching them drink their excuses to death

on a little fenced in concrete slab
that some dead mayor named the strip
no one's looking for, no one's looking out for
no one's looking for, no one's looking out for
the dead end boardwalk kids

so don't kid yourself honey keep your charity
you've got a tiny green heart of bronze
it shines like gold, yeah it shines like gold
til you get tired of acting strong
i always knew it was easy
it's the easiest thing to turn your back on someone
but you were the first one who taught me
how to make a white lie out of a thing you called love

you're a punch line with a paper kiss
you've got a postcard smile taped to your crusty lips
no one's looking for, no one's looking out for
no one's looking for, no one's looking out for
the dead end boardwalk kids

my best friend died before i was born
my baby brother's spirit was crushed
fate is a little kid with steel toe boots
waving his dick in the wind, pissing his name in the dust
well brother keep your dreams in a penny jar
we're gonna cash them out on a second chance
you're stronger than you think you've got a pit bull's grip
on a second hand suit and some hand-me-down plans

you've got a lot to give, you've got a lot to give
you've got a lot of faith, but you've misplaced it
no one's looking for, no one's looking out for
no one's looking for, no one's looking out for
the dead end boardwalk kids
