Wasteland |
From the winding concrete ring-roads to the council estates |
To the endless sprawling suburbs every turning looks the same |
This commuter town so drained of any culture of it’s own |
Oh this wasteland, this wasteland is our home |
Oh this wasteland, this wasteland is our home |
Sweet fuckin' home |
Oh what I would do for heritage, a homeland I could claim |
As my daily inspiration and an ever burning flame |
That may guide me on my travels, never leading me astray |
Back to this wasteland, this wasteland is our home. |
Well everyone needs roots to give them succour, pride and strength |
But mine cannot take hold here so I’m giving them away |
To these fake romantic notions of cultures far away |
God save my homeland, my homeland is a waste. |
And the ghosts of this town will shadow us wherever we may roam |
Oh this wasteland, this wasteland is our home |
This wasteland, this wasteland is our home. |
Oh the folk songs we grew up with, vivid pictures they would paint, |
But this is the M4 corridor, all colour fades to grey |
In the home of footloose industry, where apathy is laced |
Into the fabric of our daily lives, you find yourself displaced |
So go spend your life a roving wanderer by trade |
May you find some place to call your own, or wander to the grave |
But you’ll never walk unburdened and you’ll never walk alone |
In this wasteland, this wasteland is your home |
And the ghosts of this town will shadow us wherever we may roam |
Oh this wasteland, this wasteland is our home |
This wasteland, this wasteland is our home. |
