Route One by Millencolin

I've seen it all before
The people and the bars they're in
It doesn't turn me on no more
It's a place already done and been

Sometimes I gotta take a stand
I gotta act or I won't proceed
Which part of this don't you understand?
Which part of me is hard to read?

It would kill me if I stay here
Maybe kill me if I go
Rather take the road less traveled
Than the shit I already know

I had my share of good and bad years
But I just can't stick around
It would kill me if I stay
Hope you understand me why I'm leaving town

There's no motivation here
When everyday is all the same
Too much boredom, too much fear
And I'm sick of all this name and shame

I can't take it anymore
Don't like the person I've become
Need a new place to explore
Something different than where I'm from

It would kill me if I stay here
Maybe kill me if I go
Rather take the road less traveled
Than the shit I already know

I had my share of good and bad years
But I just can't stick around
It would kill me if I stay
Hope you understand me, yeah

But everyone's afraid
Of going backwards to degrade
Yeah, everyone's afraid of a stranger

But if we only live life once
Then I've just gotta live mine now
And it's gotta be a life in change, in change
That's why I'm leaving town

It would kill me if I stay here
Maybe kill me if I go
Rather take the road less traveled
Than the shit I already know

I had my share of good and bad years
But I just can't stick around
It would kill me if I stay
Hope you understand me why I'm leaving town
