Went for a walk the old king's road, To see if was there. But there was nobody home at 3 street, And they had sold square. And I remember in my tie dye sweater, And my hipster flares. As I on doors, And walked one-way streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya think it wouldn't last forever? Did ya ever think it would get this bad? Did ya ever that everything would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea drug 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 away for parking on a double yellow line, And can't pay the fine. (did you think) Did you ever think we'd all the hype? (did you think) Did you ever think the all would revert back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system really got it right? Oh, baby.
They filled us of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that class-less to mediocrity. As we walked that alley way of hope, We we'd found the motherload, But we were led like to that promise land, With all the debts we would owe. Once trendies posed for pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, purchased all the property that they could find, And I've just mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya ever think that green and plesant land, (did ya think) Would end up in the bottom of garbage can, (did ya think) A full of promises and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya ever 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 were fab, (did ya think) That we'd be looking 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 think that it would get this way? (did ya think) Did ya ever think we would pay the price for being lazy?
