You can see the future   Just stop and look around yer   Oh, this impossible world was never meant to be   And maybe we get what we deserve   I've seen the evidence   Packaged experience, things I want but know I'll never need   No way, no way   The fame economy   Doll choreography the culture of complaint won't seek to understand   The daisies in the sun mutate but still stay beautiful   Always looking forward to a time when you'll look back on this and smile   No way, no way   City comedown   Same as our town   With this ring I see through every ocean rising, advertising they won't stop until it's all in bits upon the ground   Screensave faces, Chinese walls divide   Monitors flicker but I only saw the light behind your eyes   We're part of a problem with no solution   Everywhere you go, everything so cheap   Someone's gonna pay   From the daily rail to the NME, sing the same old song   "They build you up they knock you down. Fifteen minutes counting down. Changes like the weather. You built me up you won't knock me down - I'm keeping both feet on the ground. And it's getting better!"   Too much time's gone past   It's winter, summer, spring   Short sleeves in March   Wake up, forage, eat, sleep and make it better   A little better   Always better   And then some more   Solemnly we piss away the peace before the war that always comes   What if I could take you back to yesterday again   Away from Kajadoodoo clerks and crazy frogs and optimists making poverty history   And was there anything else?   Back in 1980s   First thing you see   Where are all the dandies   And you shouldn't trust your memory   So banal and real and like it never went away   Banned from the bookies - "Hey, mister, we got lucky!"   "Two for The Smiths, please. And a can of Quatro."   Starring in a film no-one will ever see | But you can see the future
