I decided that this is no place to hang around   Can't get excited, I don't like living in this town   I don't like living among the dead   Everybody's so boring, swaying in their bed      Everybody I know has been dead in years   They can't laugh or swear, can't even cry no tears   Don't wanna stay here with all the dead   Everybody's so boring, nothing in their heads      And all the old men go down the pub   And all the young men smoke dope and listen to dub   And it's a London office job or a sausage factory   You know they're gonna get you boy, but they'll never ever ever get me   'Cause I can't stand it and I ain't gonna hang around   If I had a chance I'd burn this shithole to the ground   Don't wanna stay here with all the dead   Everybody's so boring, nothing in their heads      And we're living and dying and I don't know why   It's just that it's senseless, underneath the English sky   I'm gonna go to the smoke and leave it all behind   I'm gonna get away from here before I lose my mind      We're living in a ghostown (8 times)
