Did nobody tell you that a feast right now youÂ’ll pay for
with your life
ItÂ’s such a familiar tale to tell
And the holes in your pockets youÂ’ll stitch them up but
theyÂ’ll just give in time
Your fortune behind you in a line

And now that weÂ’re here
WeÂ’re taking our time
Who knows where this may lead
In one hundred years from now
We could all be on our knees
And this is the day
WeÂ’re bringing you down
Who knows just what weÂ’ll see over 15,000 miles

Did nobody hear you when you spoke of all the things
youÂ’d left behind
ThereÂ’s maaaaaadness in every single line
And if you need courage you can be inspired cos faith
will save your life
As victims of continual strife

You reach the disappointing day when nothing ever goes
your way
And looking back you had things not so badÂ…
