    The story of our hometown.
    CD: 'Chapel Hill' 5-song EP

    Lyrics
    "We've all run out options in our old hometown.
    We will go as far as it's required to keep our families sound.
    With the dollar in recession, the depression's got us down.
    There's a hope in something silver that they're mining from the ground."

    So they go to a place just to live and work in peace.
    All the hardhats carry lunchboxes and new hope lines the streets.
    If you'd seen the way that things were then, you'd never understand
    How the failed dreams of millionaires can kill the working man.

    A generation passed, and no one wanted more
    Of the things that they mined from the ground and melted into ore.
    Now the workers aren't so hopeful cause there's no work anymore.
    So they settle into settlements, it's all they can afford.

    And they came to this place just to live and work in peace,
    But the factory went broke, and now the hopeless line the streets.
    There's no work for the willing who can only use their hands.
    How the failed dreams of millionaires have killed the working man...
