lyrics

‘Cause you got your first job at sixteen,
And the property ladder seemed just like a dream,
You swore to yourself that you wouldn’t be seen as another freak for the needle and out on the streets,
But the system was not designed for someone like you,
And the politics on display were nothing new,
And a lifetime of hustling and life without shame has left you a shell of pent up trauma and rage and pain.

It happened so slowly that you didn’t realise that the nightlife had come to eat you alive,
Friday night and propping up the bar again,
Your disposable income gives an ear to lend,
And sometimes you’re wise beyond your years,
And sometimes you bore your own self to tears,
No one can say you didn’t deserve it all,
But what is the word that comes before a fall?

We’re suffering while everything’s falling apart,
And it’s falling apart because we grew up too fast,
And now our lives of petty thrills and pride won’t pay our bills.

Did you dream of being a great big star on TV,
Did you put away childish things to be a mindless drone?
A go-getter?
A cog in the machine?
What could be better?
The sort of person they write songs about,
Well you got your wish in case you were in doubt,
It’s not too late,
You can turn it around,
I bet you’re envying the junkies now.

We’re suffering while everything’s falling apart,
And it’s falling apart because we grew up too fast,
And now our lives of petty thrills and pride won’t pay our bills.
