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
