You can see the future | Just stop and look around yer | Oh, this impossible world was never meant to be | And maybe we get what we deserve | I've seen the evidence | Packaged experience, things I want but know I'll never need | No way, no way | The fame economy | Doll choreography the culture of complaint won't seek to understand | The daisies in the sun mutate but still stay beautiful | Always looking forward to a time when you'll look back on this and smile | No way, no way | City comedown | Same as our town | With this ring I see through every ocean rising, advertising they won't stop until it's all in bits upon the ground | Screensave faces, Chinese walls divide | Monitors flicker but I only saw the light behind your eyes | We're part of a problem with no solution | Everywhere you go, everything so cheap | Someone's gonna pay | From the daily rail to the NME, sing the same old song | "They build you up they knock you down. Fifteen minutes counting down. Changes like the weather. You built me up you won't knock me down - I'm keeping both feet on the ground. And it's getting better!" | Too much time's gone past | It's winter, summer, spring | Short sleeves in March | Wake up, forage, eat, sleep and make it better | A little better | Always better | And then some more | Solemnly we piss away the peace before the war that always comes | What if I could take you back to yesterday again | Away from Kajadoodoo clerks and crazy frogs and optimists making poverty history | And was there anything else? | Back in 1980s | First thing you see | Where are all the dandies | And you shouldn't trust your memory | So banal and real and like it never went away | Banned from the bookies - "Hey, mister, we got lucky!" | "Two for The Smiths, please. And a can of Quatro." | Starring in a film no-one will ever see | But you can see the future
