Lyrics
LIVING THE DREAM
V1
it lasts forever, and then it’s over
(you always tried so hard to work for the burn)
look atcha now - among the Furies -
those to whom evil is done do evil in return
not even the good guys live for ever
not even the righteous man is spared from the fire
the ticking clock is slow and steady
the chop will drop like a rock whether or not you are ready
Oh little girl
Look at us Living the Dream
glazing the dwarf in a disco
(ah the splendour of it all!)
we’re having a serious time
but it’s a victimless crime
V2
Waterloo!
Coming through!
As above - so below!
There you go -
it’ll get you there in the end
Son-of Sam - Wickerman…
Stickman -
- it’s your Vietnam
so couldn’t you bring along couple of friends?
Now you’re an AkshunThing with a busted wing
Whats the point of it all? We don’t know
On the dystopic strand of the blighted land
with one bullet left and all your tat in pram
Oh little girl
Look at us Living the Dream
under the cosh in a landfill (the underbelly of it all!)
and the reason for the mess is still anybody’s guess
Oh Little girl… as the dust starts to settle
Oh little girl… why dontcha put on the kettle?
Oh little girl… it’s never as dark as it seems
oh little girl - look at us … living the dream
