[Verse 1]

Living in a dying town

See the people rush around

Dreaming of the golden years

Everything was special here

Drifting on a broken sea

Swallowed by complacency

Every day, a silly rhyme

Every night, another line

Drink yourself into a ditch

So consumed by politics

Thinking it was simple then

Blinded by the innocence

[Verse 2]

Sleeping with the enemy

Lost all of your energy

Searching for security

Searching for some purity

Sinking far beneath the folds

Living just as you were told

Soon you will be out of time

No chance for another line

Seasons come and seasons go

Some will die and some will grow

Times have changed and so are you

You know what you gotta do

[Outro]

Oh anything that you want

You can buy

Anyone could sing “La la la”

And you’d be alright

When everyone who lived here before

Can barely get by

If there was any way you could buy love

You’d be alright
