Went for a walk down the old road, To see if was there. But was nobody home at 3 bywater street, And had sold cadogan square. And I myself in my tie dye sweater, And my corduroy flares. As I on doors, And walked down one-way that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn't last Did ya ever think that it would get this Did ya ever think that everything get so crazy?
Now the drug store needs a fix, It's in a 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 for parking on a double yellow line, And they pay the fine. (did you think) Did you think we'd all believe the hype? (did you think) Did you ever think the classes all revert back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system ever got it right? Oh, baby.
They us full of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us that class-less road to mediocrity. As we walked down alley way of hope, We thought we'd the motherload, But we were led like to that promise land, With all the that we would owe. Once trendies for tourist 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 that this green and plesant land, (did ya think) Would end up in the bottom of some can, (did ya think) A dustbin full of and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya think? Did you ever (in the summertime)
Now miseries and groaners moan and reminisce about the good old and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever when things were really fab, (did ya think) That be looking through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And sleep on benches wrapped in plastic bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think that it would get crazy? (did ya think) Did ya ever think it would get this way? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that we would pay the for being lazy?
