Went for a down the old king's road, To see if was there. But there was home at 3 bywater street, And had sold cadogan square. And I remember in my tie dye sweater, And my hipster flares. As I on doors, And walked down streets that led nowhere.
Ah, did ya ever it wouldn't last forever? Did ya ever think that it would get this Did ya ever think everything 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 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 think we'd all believe 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 ever really got it Oh, baby.
They filled us full of illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that class-less to mediocrity. As we walked down alley way of hope, We thought we'd the motherload, But we were led like to that promise land, With all the debts 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 ever think that this green and land, (did ya think) Would end up in the bottom of some can, (did ya think) A dustbin full of promises and 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 think when things were fab, (did ya think) we'd be looking through a dustbin for a dog-end to drag, (did ya think) And sleep on park benches wrapped in bags. Oh, baby.
Did ya ever think 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 pay the price for being lazy?
