The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If you could see yourself

The way that I do

You might change

A thing or two

You wouldn't look so angry

You'd know it doesn't

Look good on you

So grab your coat

Grab your hat

There ain't no saying

If we're coming back

Cause' something's gone

So terribly wrong

Here in pleasantville

Do you remember

How we'd stay out so late

We used to have

So much fun

We used to wish that the morning sun

Just wouldn't ever come

But look at us now

We're tucked in tight

We're just praying for a little light

Cause' something's gone

So terribly wrong

Here in pleasantville

I need to tell you now

As we leave

That it's much worse

Than you would believe

And no matter how far

You think you've been

The beginning

Is where you are

So I'm using my last match

To put a fire up on every hill

And burn down pleasantville

We never did learn

How to use our voices

We never thought

That we'd be heard

The only way they ever listen

Is if we sream every word

Caouse' there's nothing

In our walk

That just ain't the kind of luck we've got

So let's move on

Cause' something's gone

So terribly wrong

Here in pleasantville
