Lyrics
What were they thinking?
They're never going to stop me
From smoking or drinking my gin
I'm not taken in
By their scay-ed new world
Where beauty is freedom
And freedom is the price
Ah, they wouldn't know freedom
If you salted it and rubbed it in their eyes
Ah, sense of entitlement: three
Common sense: nil
Run and see your GP
Ah, living forever
Don't look so clever to me
We were the hard water kids
Of the asbestos age
No one died
Nobody chipped us or tracked us or caged us
Or taught us to fear
No one tried
So we helped ourselves
To the world, unafraid
Hey, sometimes we even got paid
Well now I've spent all that money I earned
And here is one thing I have learned
There's nothing in life that's worth giving up
For the sake of five years in the sunset retirement home
Nothing in life is worth giving up
For a chair in a smoke-free day room watching telly
Parched and immobile, and praying for tea
Patronised and stupid, cake on your birthday
Now tell me, my beauty, ain't it grand to be free?
I wonder how it could have been if I'd have been a bad girl
Smoking that reefer, a life in slow motion
I wonder how it could have been if I'd have been a bad girl
Gentleman callers, fast cars and what have you
I wonder how it could have been
I wonder how it could have been
I wonder most all the time
Don't wonder what you could have been
Don't wonder how it could have been
Don't wonder, break out and find out tonight
