Here we are on, civilisation street Where the neighbours never meet And you have to be discreet Don't ever talk to strangers Even when they offer you sweets Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut Keep your head down Here we are in, civilisation town Where shops are closing down And the people rush around No time to stop and talk All the cops are going round Keep your head down, keep your head down Keep your mouth shut Here we are in, civilisation city Where the lights are oh so pretty And the concrete smells of money Laced with years of exploitation Got no job (aw) Got no job, oh what a pity Uh uh oh When the church is empty and the graveyard full The skies are gray with chemicals And all the books lie in the dust The televisions now rust Watch the people, wither away Alone together, have a nice day, have a nice day, have a nice day, have a nice day Have a nice day, have a nice day, have a nice day, have a nice day now Have a nice day! On civilisation street the jigsaw's incomplete We've got the whole world at our feet! But we ruined all the good bits and cut down all the trees And dumped the radiation into the deep blue sea Got to have so much matter Just to get from A to B Just to move that little bit faster Put our faith in luxury Just to move that little bit closer To the world on your tv Any everyone needs more money, HA Cos nothing makes ends meet Cos time is money, time is money And I haven't any time On civilistaion street Civilistaion...
