Sad days, kissing the cheeks
|
Of the families who are walking away
|
Tragic, the pubs are opposing,
|
The system is broken, decay
|
|
Because business is down at the depot,
|
Defenses are the only things built
|
Neighbors wave goodbye to each other
|
This country is over, they say
|
|
Yeah, this is life
|
In a modern town
|
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
|
It's not a good day left to be in a fight
|
'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life
|
If nothing gets done it will never be right
|
But don't shut 'em down
|
|
Lately, the 21st century's been... crazy
|
It's the sing of the times
|
Buildings decomposing in slumber
|
There's no work for all till they wake
|
|
Yeah, this is life
|
In a modern town
|
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
|
It's not a good day left to be in a fight
|
'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life
|
If nothing gets done it will never be right
|
But don't shut 'em down
|
Don't shut 'em down
|
|
Too many faults, no reasons
|
The rains that fall, dry bleeding
|
Upon the ashes of our homes
|
Our homes
|
Save our homes
|
|
Manic
|
The word on the street here is panic
|
There's a riot at hand
|
|
People, taking care of the people
|
There's no other way, or we'll break
|
|
Yeah, this is life
|
In a modern town
|
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
|
It's not a good day left to be in a fight
|
'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life
|
|
Yeah, this is life
|
In a modern town
|
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out
|
It's not a good day left to be in a fight
|
'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life
|
If nothing gets done it will never be right
|
But don't shut 'em down
|
Don't shut 'em down
|
|
Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families (you can't shut 'em down)
|
Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families (you won't shut 'em down)
