Rancid

Lyrics

I go by my Mothers house
It’s all Boarded up
The School I went to ain’t nothin but a sea of rubble
The church I was married in
Them bells they don’t ring no more
The choir don’t sing no more
The preacher don’t preach no more

That’s just the way things are
That’s just the way it is now
The same old streets that I grew up in
That’s just the way things are
That’s just the way it is now
The same old streets that I grew up in

I walk through the cemetery
It’s all empty now
I put a rose on the grave of a fallen hero
And I look out into the wild
All I see is emptiness
So much loneliness
I want is forgiveness.

That’s just the way things are
That’s just the way it is now
The same old streets that I grew up in
That’s just the way things are
That’s just the way it is now
The same old streets that I grew up in
