I decided that this is no place to hang around

Can't get excited, I don't like living in this town

I don't like living among the dead

Everybody's so boring, swaying in their bed



Everybody I know has been dead in years

They can't laugh or swear, can't even cry no tears

Don't wanna stay here with all the dead

Everybody's so boring, nothing in their heads



And all the old men go down the pub

And all the young men smoke dope and listen to dub

And it's a London office job or a sausage factory

You know they're gonna get you boy, but they'll never ever ever get me

'Cause I can't stand it and I ain't gonna hang around

If I had a chance I'd burn this shithole to the ground

Don't wanna stay here with all the dead

Everybody's so boring, nothing in their heads



And we're living and dying and I don't know why

It's just that it's senseless, underneath the English sky

I'm gonna go to the smoke and leave it all behind

I'm gonna get away from here before I lose my mind



We're living in a ghostown (8 times)
