Here we all are on Civilization Street
Where the neighbours never meet
And you have to be discreet
Never talk to strangers
Even when they offer you sweets
Keep your mouth shut
Keep your mouth shut
Keep your head down
ย
Here we all are in Civilization Town
Where the shops are closing down
And the people rush around
No time to stop and talk
While the clocks are going round
Keep your head down
Keep your head down
Keep your mouth shut
ย
Here we all are in Civilization City
Where the lights are all so pretty
And the concrete smells of money
Raised from years of exploitation
Got no job
Got no job
Oh what a pity
ย
Where the church is empty
And the graveyard full
The skies are grey with chemicals
And all the books lie in the dust
The televisions never 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
On Civilization Street
Where 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 big blue sea
And carved up so much landscape
Just to get from A to B
Just to move a little bit faster
On our five feet luxury
Just to move a little bit closer
To the world on your TV
ย
And everyone needs more money
'Cos nothing makes ends meet
'Cos time is money
Time is money
And money buys time
On Civilization Street
