A few years and things were fine 
We rode our chances on a better life 
We stood waiting for things to change 
Constant source of disappointment 
Can't break the mould set in place 
We should have known 
Brought up with the stars in our eyes 
False hope to disguise their lies 
We're always waiting for the happy ending 
Just the start of our demise 
You feel, fucking feel nothing 
For all the years you ever put in 
In this cold dark world 
Fuck their world it never gave us a thing 
Spits out lies that we always take in 
And we've pushed our luck as far as we can go 
Its time to make the great escape 
Brought up with the stars in our eyes 
False hope to disguise their lies 
We're always waiting for the happy ending 
Just the start of our demise 
That we must escape, we've got to make our great escape
