Five pretty boys for ten shitty years
  Five girls next door, I'm up to my ears
  I need a reaction, a new revolution
  All over the country, 'cos they took it away
    They took it away, it can't be impossible
  They're playing the records that they play in hospital
  Radio playlist for the terminally ill
  You can't tell they're miming 'till you're over the hill
    And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
  And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
    If you put it like that, you'll be dead some day
  Set the record straight - they took it all away
    They took it away, left us with nothing
  Second-hand hits and million misses
  Nobody means it, they're making up stories
  You gotta blame someone, you can't blame the Tories
    I blame myself, I want an easy life
  Does it really matter, ain't worth no suicide
  The bigger they come, the harder they fall
  I'm kicking myself for wasting it all
    And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
  And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
    If you put it like that, you'll be dead some day
  Set the record straight - they took it all away
    They took it away, left us with nothing
    You suffer the pain of your fingers burning
    And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
  And it goes on (and on, and on, and on...)
    If you put it like that, you'll be dead some day
  Set the record straight - they took it all away
