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 |
