Went for a walk down the old road, To see if was there. But there was nobody at 3 bywater street, And they had cadogan square. And I myself in my tie dye sweater, And my corduroy flares. As I on doors, And walked one-way streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever it wouldn't last forever? Did ya ever that it would get this bad? Did ya ever think that everything would get so
Now the chelsea drug store a fix, in a state of ill repair. And my cuban are hurting my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs drove mini in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now they're towed away for parking on a yellow line, And they pay the fine. (did you think) Did you think we'd all believe the hype? (did you think) Did you think the classes all would revert back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system really got it right? Oh, baby.
filled us full of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that class-less to mediocrity. As we walked that alley way of hope, We thought found the motherload, But we were led like to that promise land, all the debts that we would owe. Once trendies posed for pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, they purchased all the property that they find, And just sold mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya ever think that this and plesant land, (did ya think) Would end up in the bottom of some can, (did ya think) A dustbin of promises and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya think? Did you ever (in the summertime)
Now miseries and moan and reminisce about the good old times and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever think when things were fab, (did ya think) That we'd be through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And sleep on park benches wrapped in bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think that it get this crazy? (did ya think) Did ya ever think it would get this way? (did ya think) Did ya think that we would pay the price for being lazy?
