LYRICS:
Monolithic slabs scar the skyline
office workers type and file away
Middle managers give flip-chart presentations
As though they really have something to say
and mile after mile stretch the ruins
of enterprise and vanity or fraud
increasing tax demands
and eroded pension plans
so many of us want to live abroad
In this grey unpleasant wasteland...
Gridlocked lanes and vast car parks
at weekends we try to escape
from our bullying bosses, stock market losses
and boredom and red tape
So many channels on TV
our brains don't have time to think
We bury our emotions and
we down another drink
In this grey unpleasant wasteland...
We can't spell or do math
Can't carve wood or turn spanners
We're a service economy with no wit
nor good manners
It seems people with money
bribe all the town planners
in this grey unpleasant wasteland...
Statistics govern everything
no matter how bent or how flawed
Regardless of the measures
we all want to know who scored
Living up to expectations
of those who live in glass houses
Bottling up and bubbling under -
the anger this arouses!
In this grey unpleasant wasteland...
