Did Ya

Went for a walk down the old king's road To see if anybody was there But there was nobody home at 3 bywater street And they had sold cadogan square And I remember myself in my tie dye sweater And my hipster corduroy flares As I knocked on doors And walked down oneway streets that led nowhere Ah did ya ever think it wouldn't last forever Did ya ever think that it would get this bad Did ya ever think that everything would get so crazy Now the chelsea drug store needs a fix It's in a state of ill repair And my cuban heels are hurting my feet Just to add to my despair Ladidahs drove mini cars in the summertime in the summertime Now they're towed away for parking on a double yellow line And they can't pay the fine did you ever think Did you ever think we'd all believe the hype did you ever think Did you ever think the classes all would revert back to type did you ever think Did you ever think the system ever really got it right Oh baby They filled us full of false illusions and promiscuity And they led us down that classless road to mediocrity As we walked down that alley way of hope We thought we'd found the motherload But we were led like lambs to that promise land With all the debts that we would owe Once trendies posed for tourist pictures in the summertime in the summertime Not content with taking polaroids they purchased all the property that they could find And I've just sold mine did you ever Did ya ever think that this green and plesant land did ya ever think Would end up in the bottom of some garbage can did ya ever think A dustbin full of promises and halfhearted plans Oh baby Did ya did ya did ya ever think Did you ever think in the summertime Now miseries and groaners moan and reminisce about the good old times and whine whine whine did ya ever think Did ya ever think when things were really fab did ya ever think That we'd be looking through a dustbin for a dogend to drag did ya ever think And sleep on park benches wrapped in plastic bags Oh baby Did ya ever think that it would get this crazy did ya ever think Did ya ever think that it would get this way did ya ever think Did ya ever think that we would pay the price for being lazy
