Tow truck gonna pick you up
fresh love is tough without a doubt
free speech is a poison peach
piscine la pool, they’ll kick you out

Can’t compete with the small-town beat
elite with the double-bladed knife
sit back and slap the concrete
life is stink and stink is life

Can’t compete with the small-town beat
retreat and enjoy the view, where you
read dreams like shopping receipts
go bankrupt freezing trees like I do
and I do

I found "piscine la pool" an interesting line. I'm sure I'm missing something, because I recall back to my high school French days of what this means.
Let your soul shine. Its better than sunshine. Its better than moonshine. Damn sure better than rain.

Yes, piscine is the french word for pool. I always found that funny, because it sounds to me like 'piss-in.' Well, 'pees-een,' once you fraunch it up. :)

Well, I guess you could say the main message in the song is "small towns just are what they are." Beyond that, you're gonna have to figure it out yourself. :p

I was surprised when you started singing because you sound older on this recording than you do in real life. Don't know what the deal is with that. But it holds pretty tight, bro. I actually liked the first minute and three seconds or so best, because the singing was interesting and after that it got boring.
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

I like the title, but isn't the big city that has a beat?
Small towns are just a retreat.

A beat is someone who is just well... out of luck.. .beat down by society... and all that. So anyone anywhere can be beat.

I know exactly what your getting at with this tune.

Dude, you sound like a forty year old black dude.
For life is quite absurd and death's the final word, You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
