Stop living your life for the alarm
|
that wakes you up every day at eight
|
leave your Peugeot on the forecourt
|
it's all too much for you to take
|
your girlfriend don't love you but still she slaves
|
to make a home for you to stay
|
the people above you they keep you held down
|
the boys, the boys you'd love to make
|
|
leaning on your fence when you told me
|
you were gonna make lots of money
|
be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes
|
rolling out the carpet to regrets
|
now you're not so young it's too easy
|
to be a dreamer, wake up and be free
|
your clock is ticking fast friend, believe me
|
you only get one chance, can you hear me
|
|
it's not OK to be this way
|
it's not OK to be a slave
|
|
stop living your life for a man in a tie
|
he's just a fool the same as you
|
his daughter don't love him but still he slaves
|
to make a way for her to choose
|
her teenage dreams are here today
|
but in the morning they'll be gone
|
washed away by the minimum wage
|
the same, the same as everyone
|
|
leaning on your fence when you told me
|
you were gonna make lots of money
|
be a princess, diamonds and cigarettes
|
rolling out the carpet to regrets
|
now you're not so young it's too easy
|
to be a dreamer, wake up and be free
|
your clock is ticking fast friend, believe me
|
you only get one chance, can you hear me
|
|
it's not OK to be this way
|
it's not OK to be a slave
|
|
leaning on your fence when you told me
|
you were gonna make lots of money

to be a dreamer, wake up and be free

your clock is ticking fast friend, believe me

|
|
it's not OK to be this way
|
not OK to be this way
|
not OK to be this way
|
not OK to be a slave
|
to be a slave
