Stranger In My Own Town Lyrics - The Outfield

I still remember what I saw last night 

Three small kids stealing money from a poor man 

Now that ain't right, no, that ain't right 

I'm still thinking 'bout the things I heard 

Poor old man, he was frightened and afraid of every word 

And it's all so absurd 

But times are changing now and I still care 

There must be something we can do out there 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

I keep on walkin' through these run down streets 

Graffiti walls, this ain't nothing like it used to be 

Not for you or for me 

This town's never been so down before 

Looks like a photograph 

Someone might've taken in the second world war 

Oh, but what was that for 

So many people gave their lives for this 

There's nothing left for us to reminisce 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

When those sad days were over 

I'm sure they all thought that we'd won 

But now as I look around 

Still invaded by everyone 

Things won't ever be the same again 

I've not lost a town, I've lost my only friend 

Oh, but where does it end 

We'll never change these times with good intent 

But right now I know I don't feel content 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby 

Like a stranger in my own town, baby
