There stood the fence that penned me in when I was younger
This was the house where we all stayed
There was a tree we used to hang out under
This was the place where I played
But now that's gone so I have to wonder
Is it worth the price we pay?
A long range test has put us under
And made us go away, go away...
This was the town where all my friends and I had grown up
The only place I've ever known
A long gray street with some houses built on it
Less than perfect but it was home
Now it's gone and I curse it in my darkness
This is the cross I have to bear
We pay the price of our own injustice
We made us go nowhere
Go nowhere, nowhere
Solo
This was our earth our garden of eden
Took what we could and left her there bleeding
And what became of the hopes and the dreams
Did they die with us 'cause that's how it seems
Here comes the rain can't you taste the acid?
Or has it left you numb?
This is the moral to the story I offer
Can you hear me son...
Or have you gone away
Away
Away

There stood the fence that penned me in when I was younger 
This was the house where we all stayed 
There was a tree we used to hang out under 
This was the place where I played 
But now that's gone so I have to wonder 
Is it worth the price we pay? 
A long range test has put us under 
And made us go away, go away... 
This was the town where all my friends and I had grown up 
The only place I've ever known 
A long gray street with some houses built on it 
Less than perfect but it was home 
Now it's gone and I curse it in my darkness 
This is the cross I have to bear 
We pay the price of our own injustice 
We made us go nowhere 
Go nowhere, nowhere 
Solo 
This was our earth our garden of eden 
Took what we could and left her there bleeding 
And what became of the hopes and the dreams 
Did they die with us 'cause that's how it seems 
Here comes the rain can't you taste the acid? 
Or has it left you numb? 
This is the moral to the story I offer 
Can you hear me son... 
Or have you gone away 
Away  
Away
