So, you're out on a limb but you're feeling so grand 

As the rulers of this country take you by the hand 

Cause you're safe in the knowledge you got somewhere to go 

But you're nerves gonna crack and it's starting to show 

Now the wife's gone and left you and the kids have left home 

Your job's in the balance and the mortgage has grown 

The car's repossessed so you're back on the bus 

Is it all happening, is it worth all the fuss? 

It's all as plain as could be 

If only you could see 

Take your face from the pillow and breathe 

Is this the life that you've wieved?
