The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights   The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights      I thought I might move down to London Town   I could get in a band, have fun all the year round   The living down there must be pretty easy   I could rip up my jeans deliberately      The streets really must be paved with gold   If everybody goes WHAM! and has fun on the dole   Imagine what it would be like for me   I've seen the pictures in the magazines      Because I've been down too long now   I don't understand why   But something's gotta change soon   Because I can't just sit and cry      Something better come right   Something better come right   Something better come right soon      Something got to come right   Something got to come right   Something got to come right soon      The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights   The bright lights, the bright lights, the bright lights      Something better come right   Something better come right   Something better come right soon      I got down to London and what did I see?   A thousand policemen all over the street   The people were shouting and looking at me   They said 'the Colin Roach's family demand an enquiry'      I woke up from a terrible dream   I saw millions of people replaced by machines   I thought, I've got to change more than my clothes   If I want to do something more than just pose         I've been down too long now   I must go up from here   Somethings got to change soon   Because I can't just disappear   Something's got to come right   Something's got to come right   Something's got to come right soon      Something better come right   Something better come right   Something better come right soon
