Went for a walk the old king's road, To see if was there. But there was home at 3 bywater street, And they had sold square. And I myself in my tie dye sweater, And my corduroy flares. As I on doors, And walked one-way streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn't last Did ya ever that it would get this bad? Did ya ever think that everything get so crazy?
Now the chelsea drug needs a fix, in a state of ill repair. And my cuban heels are 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 ever think we'd all believe the (did you think) Did you ever think the classes all would revert to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system ever really got it Oh, baby.
filled us full of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us that class-less road to mediocrity. As we down that alley way of hope, We thought we'd the motherload, But we were led lambs to that promise land, With all the that we would owe. Once trendies posed for tourist in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with polaroids, they purchased all the property that they could 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 of some garbage 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 moan and reminisce about the old times and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever when things were really fab, (did ya think) we'd be looking through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And on park benches wrapped in plastic bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya think that it would get this 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?
