Business as usual in my town.
Everything's as it seems.
The billboards and the factories,
Are weather-torn and empty now.
Litter helps to keep down the weeds.
Everything's normal in my town.
Everything's as it seems.
Drunks are all driving home.
Druggies all getting stoned, yeah.
Anyone left must be in a dream.
Everything's some extreme.
Live a lie in this ghetto scene.
Time here ain't no luxury.
Everything's as it seems.
Everything's as it seems.
Everything's as it seems.
Everyone's normal in my town.
Everyone's as they seem.
The man across the street.
And the wife that he beats, yeah.
Have never really gotten to me.
Noise drowns out the screams.
Everything's some extreme.
Live a lie in this ghetto scene.
Time here ain't no luxury.
Everything's as it seems.
Everything's as it seems.
Everything's as it seems.
Business as usual in my town.
Everything's some extreme.
Things don't seem to change around here.
Everything's as it seems, yeah.
Anything left must be a dream.
It's just a dream.
Oh, just a dream.
Everything's some extreme.
Live a lie in this ghetto scene.
Time here ain't no luxury.
Everything's as it seems.
Everything's as it seems.
Everything's as it seems.
Oh, everything!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, as it seems!
Oh, everything. Yeah!
Everything's as it seems.
