Selling Out Your Future |
| Switching on the city lighting |
| All the homes feel so secure |
| 'cos the west is ever caring |
| She can keep your home fires burning |
| Switching to a bedroom lighting |
| Hiding low you’re insecure |
| Hand around the candle you say |
| There’s no more joy to come tomorrow |
| Caught in the act |
| You were taking your time |
| You said nothing would change |
| Nothing would change so |
| Nothing would |
| Selling out your future |
| Selling out your future |
| Drew the curtains shut the lights out |
| Slept alone upon the floor |
| But you couldn’t stop the draught creeping |
| Underneath the front door |
| You ignored the press gang selling |
| Lottery tickets at the stairs |
| But you already sold your hat for |
| A dark green helmet yesterday |
| Caught in the trap |
| You had nothing to choose |
| You saw everything lost |
| You had nothing to say |
| Nothing to say, so nothings said |
| Selling out your future |
| Selling out your future |
| Switching on the city lighting |
| All the homes feel so secure |
| 'cos the west is ever caring |
| She can keep the camera staring |
| Switching on your colour vision |
| Smiling faces lie to you |
| Faded voices crying 'Fall into line |
| The 'Fall out', comes tomorrow |
| Caught in the trap |
| You were taking your time |
| They were buying your mind |
| You had nothing to say |
| Nothing to say, so nothings said |
| Selling out your future |
| Selling out your future |
