Ordinary Town
(tune: Dave Carter, "Ordinary Town")
Buffy Summers was a sweet young thing and a ninth-grade shooting star
Done her slaying early, running fast and running far
In the early dawn when the stars were gone, did she hear her Watcher's call?
Did she wish sometimes she would wake and find she was only dreamin after all, 'cause
This is an ordinary town - well, except for certain things
This is an ordinary town, where the angel has no wings
And from the hellmouth come the terrifying calls
Like the ordinary monsters of your highschool halls
Honor, duty, truth and beauty, sing it to the sky
With every pain of sixteen summers, know the grownups lie
And every lesson seems to say you're useless after all
"Come in, come in," the mayor said when demons came to city hall, 'cause
This is an ordinary town, where you live nextdoor to death
This is an ordinary town, where the angel has no breath
And from the hellmouth come the same ungrounded fears
Like the ordinary demons of your teenage years
And it's walk with witches or badass bitches or rich-kid classroom cliques
And stave off slaughter with holy water and a bag of sharpened sticks
So you walk by night and you stand and fight when you want to turn and run
But you face your foes and you come to know that you can be the stronger one, 'cause
This is an ordinary town, where you're bigger than your fear
This is an ordinary town, where the angel holds you near
And round the hellmouth stand the heroes straight and true
Like the ordinary Slayer there inside of you
