I think we must have all gone mad
|
Maybe right turned over
|
They promise us the earth
|
Instead we've got the great depression
|
Now you're free and easy with the base
|
You blame your brothers and sisters
|
And neurotics say "sod the rest"
|
It's the new dissention
|
|
Into the abyss
|
By pushing forwards
|
It's always down
|
It's a desperate war
|
You're trying to blow yourselves up
|
You don't care who you stand... with the help about
|
Hey hey - well that's not the way
|
|
No sense or reason in your fussing and fighting
|
And your violent obsession
|
Who's ever really left feeling fine
|
After the great depression?
|
No sense of purpose in the competion
|
Keeping up with the Jones's
|
You buy a house,
|
You buy a car
|
You buy a marriage and a bed of roses
|
|
Into the abyss
|
By pushing forwards
|
It's always down
|
It's a desperate war
|
You're trying to blow yourselves up
|
You don't care who you stand ... with the help about
|
|
Hey hey - well that's not the way
|
