A room without a view

Where the clock has stopped

Far from the global soapbox

The small town circus never comes

They roll up the streets at night

You're saving up for the bright lights

But meantime the world rushes on

With all these momentous changes

To take you in your stride

All these momentous changes

And you've got so much on you mind

This is the dumbest thing to get so stuck

It costs a fortune just to keep up

For all that, the money never comes

New skills you should be trying

All you can offer is joined-up writing

Meantime the world rushed on

With all these momentous changes

You're getting left behind

By all these momentous changes

And you've got so much on your mind

Someone should pick you out

Show you where to start

Show you how to take part

In all these momentous changes

You just feel deprived

By all these momentous changes

And you've got so much on your mind
