took it away

five pretty boys for ten shitty years

five girls next door

i'm up to my ears

i need a reaction

a new revolution

all over the country

'cos they took it away

they took it away

it can't be impossible

they're playing the records that they play in hospital

radio playlist for the terminally ill

you can't tell they're miming 'till you're over the hill

and it goes on

and it goes on

if you put it like that

you'll be dead some day

set the record straight - they took it all away

they took it away

left us with nothing

second-hand hits and million misses

nobody means it

they're making up stories

you gotta blame someone

you can't blame the tories

i blame myself

i want an easy life

does it really matter

ain't worth no suicide

the bigger they come

the harder they fall

i'm kicking myself for wasting it all

and it goes on

and it goes on

if you put it like that

you'll be dead some day

set the record straight - they took it all away

they took it away

left us with nothing

you suffer the pain of your fingers burning

and it goes on

and it goes on

if you put it like that

you'll be dead some day

set the record straight - they took it all away
