Is this a good time to be alive?
Or just don't fall
It's always been this way
It's always been this way
Now I wake up everyday
In a landfill
It's always been this way
Repeating the same mistakes
For now
There's joy in a small wage
We'll never have what we had
Growing up against the rain
♪
The high street closed us down
Should we leave town?
It's always been this way
Repeating the same mistakes
There's security at sea
In the absence of worlds
It's always been this way
Repeating the same mistakes
For now
There's joy in a small wage
We'll never have what we had
Spend more than you got paid
We'll never see what we saw
There's joy in a small wage
We'll never have what we had
Growing up against the rain
There's a whole world
Outside your room
There's a whole world
Outside your room
There's a whole world
Outside your room
(Whole world outside)
There's a whole world
Outside your room
That you've never seen
For now
There's joy in a small wage
We'll never have what we had
Spend more than you got paid
We'll never see what we saw
There's joy in a small wage
We'll never have what we had
Growing up against the rain
