running full steam ahead...and still buying it

All our lives we’ve dreamed about it

Just to find that it was never real

This sure ain’t no great Valhalla

Coming closer each turn of the wheel

Forlorn, adrift on seas of beige

In this our Golden Age

Even in our darkest hour

Never thought that it could get so bad

Bullied, suckered, pimped and patronised

Every day your tawdry little lives

So loose your head

And step within

The silence deafening

Now you saw it coming

And I saw it coming / We all saw it coming

But we still bought it / Now you saw it coming

And I saw it coming but still / Running full steam ahead

In and out of consciousness

It breaks my heart to see you like this

Crying, wringing hands and cursing fate

Always so little far too late

It’s 3am I’m wide awake

There’s still one call to make

Now you saw it coming / And I saw it coming

We all saw it coming / But we still bought it

Now you saw it coming / And I saw it coming

We all saw it coming / But we still bought it

Now you saw it coming / And I saw it coming

But still running full steam / Now you saw it coming

And I saw it coming but still / Running full steam

Now you / And I

We all saw it coming / But we still bought it

Now you / And I

We all saw it coming / But we still bought it...
