|
Sad days, kissing the cheeks |
|
Of the families who are walking away |
|
Tragic, the pubs are opposing |
|
The system is broken, decay |
|
Because business is down at the depot |
|
Defenses are the only things built |
|
Neighbors wave goodbye to each other |
|
This country is over they say |
|
Yeah, this is life in a modern town |
|
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out |
|
It's not a good day left to be in a fight |
|
'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life |
|
If nothing gets done it will never be right |
|
But don't shut 'em down |
|
Lately, the 21st century's been crazy |
|
It's the sign of the times |
|
Buildings decomposing in slumber |
|
There's no work for all till they wake |
|
Yeah, this is life in a modern town |
|
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out |
|
It's not a good day left to be in a fight |
|
'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life |
|
If nothing gets done it will never be right |
|
But don't shut 'em down, don't shut 'em down |
|
Too many faults, no reasons |
|
The rains that fall, dry bleeding |
|
Upon the ashes of our homes |
|
Our homes, save our homes |
|
Manic, the word on the street here is panic |
|
There's a riot at hand |
|
People, taking care of the people |
|
There's no other way or we'll break |
|
Yeah, this is life in a modern town |
|
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out |
|
It's not a good day left to be in a fight |
|
'Cause living is hard through the struggles of life |
|
Yeah, this is life in a modern town |
|
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out |
|
It's not a good day left to be in a fight |
|
'cause living is hard through the struggles of life |
|
If nothing gets done it will never be right |
|
But don't shut 'em down, don't shut 'em down |
|
(Don't shut 'em down) |
|
Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families |
|
(You can't shut 'em down) |
|
Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families |
|
(You won't shut 'em down) |
