Went for a down 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 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 think it wouldn't last forever? Did ya ever think that it would get this Did ya think that everything would get so crazy?
Now the chelsea store needs a fix, It's in a of ill repair. And my heels are hurting my feet, to add to my despair. La-di-dahs drove mini in the summertime. (in the summertime) Now they're towed away for parking on a double line, And they 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 full of illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down class-less road to mediocrity. As we walked down alley way of hope, We we'd found the motherload, But we were led like lambs to that land, With all the debts that we owe. Once trendies posed for pictures in the summertime. (in the summertime) Not content with taking polaroids, they purchased all the property they could find, And I've sold mine. (did you ever!)
Did ya ever think that this green and land, (did ya think) Would end up in the bottom of some can, (did ya think) A full 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 good old and whine, whine, whine. (did ya think) Did ya ever think things were really 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 that it would get this crazy? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that it get this way? (did ya think) Did ya ever think that we would pay the price for lazy?
