lyrics

Sunnyside, downtown child you’ll find me, smiling
Head in the sugar of my lollipop pop pop, pop

Sunnyside, downtown mama you’ll find me, driving
Blasting AC in my truck truck truck truck, truck

Nowhere to go it’s a small town, and I’m broke

Who’s writing me love letters, when my heart is a mess?
Who’s writing me love letters, when my heart is a mess?
My heart is a mess my my my heart is a mess
My heart is a mess, my heart is such a mess!

Sunnyside, downtown child you’ll find me, grinding
Slicing up pies for the tourists in the big brown hats, hats

Nowhere to go nothing to do it’s a small town and I’m broke,
Damn!

Who’s writing me love letters, when my heart is a mess?
Who’s writing me love letters, when my heart is a mess?
My heart is a mess my my my heart is a mess
My heart is a mess, my heart is such a mess!

Do you know what it means to live in a small town nowhere to go nothing to do no money at all? Do you know what Americans live through, on a day to day basis? Do you even care?

Sunnyside, built to survive
Sunnyside, built to survive
I’m built to survive, built to survive
Sunnyside, built! To survive
