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 cadogan square. And I myself in my tie dye sweater, And my hipster flares. As I on doors, And walked down one-way streets led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever think it wouldn't last Did ya ever think that it get this bad? Did ya ever think everything would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea drug store a fix, in a state of ill repair. And my cuban heels are 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 can't pay the fine. (did you think) Did you ever think all believe the hype? (did you think) Did you ever think the classes all would back to type? (did you think) Did you ever think the system ever got it right? Oh, baby.
They filled us full of illusions and promiscuity, And led us down that class-less road to mediocrity. As we walked down that way of hope, We thought we'd the motherload, But we were led like lambs to promise land, all the debts that we would owe. Once trendies posed for tourist in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content taking polaroids, they purchased all the property that they could find, And just sold 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 of promises and half-hearted plans. Oh, baby.
Did ya, did ya, did ya ever Did you ever (in the summertime)
Now miseries and moan 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 through a dustbin for a to drag, (did ya think) And sleep on park benches in plastic bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think that it get this crazy? (did ya think) Did ya think that it would get this way? (did ya think) Did ya think that we would pay the price for being lazy?
