Went for a walk down the old road, To see if was there. But there was nobody at 3 bywater street, And had sold cadogan square. And I remember in my tie dye sweater, And my corduroy flares. As I on doors, And walked down one-way streets led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn't forever? Did ya ever think it would get this bad? Did ya ever think that everything get so crazy?
Now the chelsea store needs a fix, in a state of ill repair. And my cuban are hurting my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs drove cars in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now they're towed away for parking on a yellow line, And can't pay the fine. (did you think) Did you ever 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 think the system ever really got it right? Oh, baby.
They filled us of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down class-less road to mediocrity. As we walked that alley way of hope, We we'd found the motherload, But we were led like lambs to that land, With all the that we would owe. trendies posed for tourist pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content taking polaroids, they purchased all the property that they could find, And I've sold mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya think that this green 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 think? (in the summertime)
Now miseries and groaners and reminisce about the good old times and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever think when things really fab, (did ya think) That we'd be looking through a dustbin for a 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 that it get this way? (did ya think) Did ya ever think we would pay the price for being lazy?
