Brick by brick ya you're wasted away
And it's a hard life working to die
Just when ya couldn't take anymore
They pull ya, right back into the fire

With a, fake smile, you'll be on your way
You better just pack up and leave
Ya know the city'll eat cha alive
When there's nothing left here to believe

(Instrumental chorus)

I wish I could I was lying
I wish I could I was wrong
You've never been one to feel like, like you belong

If ya, quit would it save ya today
Or would ya end up out on the street
Like a pigeon in a park in a tree
You know them birds have never been free

Scream and yell, might as well
We're in hell, oh carousal
Scream and yell, might as well
We're in hell, oh carousal

Brick by brick ya you're wasted away
And it's a hard life working to die
Just when ya, thought you couldn't take anymore
They pull ya, right back into the fire

With a fake smile you'll be on your way
You better just pack up and leave, yeah
Ya know the city'll eat cha alive
When there's nothing left here to believe

Scream and yell, might as well
We're in hell, oh carousal
Scream and yell, might as well
We're in hell, oh carousal
Scream and yell, Scream and yell
You might as well
