Baseball Bat Persuasive

We're all looking for something
That may be well out of reach
You get those twitches of passion
They hint that something's complete

Dropping a line in a note-book
Telling a smile from a frown
Tonight I'll rest with the notion
There's no stopping us now

It might be way out of line now
To even wish for the best
I should be filled with content now
And not complain like the rest

But you're all slipping away now
Fill your days with contentment
I'll have to win you back over
By being baseball bat persuasive

Oh, I can't take it, I can't take it no more
I get so close, I almost call it mine
And then I'm left so far behind

So if you wanna dig for gold my friend
Go dig it somewhere else
And if you wanna call it off my friend
Will you tell it to my face

And let me:
Rock this town
Rock this town
Rock this town
Rock this town

So if you wanna build a safety net
Go build it somewhere else
Here's my dejected bitterness
Shove your degree and go to hell

Cause I just wanna:
Rock this town
Rock this town
Rock this town
Rock this town
