Went for a down the old king's road, To see if was there. But was nobody 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 down streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it last forever? Did ya ever think that it would get this Did ya ever think that would 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 mini cars in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now they're towed away for on a double yellow line, And they pay the fine. (did you think) Did you ever think we'd all 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 really got it 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 thought we'd the motherload, But we were led like to that promise land, With all the that we would owe. Once posed for tourist pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, they purchased all the property that could find, And I've just mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya think that this green and plesant land, (did ya think) end up in the bottom of some garbage can, (did ya think) A dustbin full of promises and plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya ever Did you ever (in the summertime)
Now miseries and groaners moan and reminisce about the old times and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya think when things were really fab, (did ya think) That we'd be through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And on park benches wrapped in plastic bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever that it would get this crazy? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that it would get this (did ya think) Did ya ever that we would pay the price for being lazy?
