lyrics

What has happened to community,
now people have bought and sold their homes?
I no longer know, who's living down my street,
I keep thinking the neighbours are burglars or thieves, oh yeah,

Chorus:

But it was you, promised harmony, but you brutalised us all,
and it was you who loved the family,
but you threw them to the wall,
and you, and your morality,
is the sound of closing doors,
and to think that we, we thought the `Seventies' was bad, in Disgraceland.

Feels like the third world's come to me,
like some weird package tour in reverse.
All this homelessness and poverty,
from one of the richest nations on earth.

Chorus.

We fight for all that is useless 
and give our family silver away.
We're an economic shambles
but we still think we're great.
We know the cost of virtually everything but...
we know the value of nothing at all.

Frustration is eating at me,
I am so angry I can barely speak,
that these people have the audacity,
to justify just about anything.

Chorus.
