<b>Civilisation Street</b> by <i>Culture Shock</i><br />

Here we are on, civilisation street

Where the neighbours never meet

And you have to be discreet

Don't ever talk to strangers

Even when they offer you sweets

Keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut

Keep your head down

Here we are in, civilisation town

Where shops are closing down

And the people rush around

No time to stop and talk

All the cops are going round

Keep your head down, keep your head down

Keep your mouth shut

Here we are in, civilisation city

Where the lights are oh so pretty

And the concrete smells of money

Laced with years of exploitation

Got no job (aw)

Got no job, oh what a pity

Uh uh oh

When the church is empty and the graveyard full

The skies are gray with chemicals

And all the books lie in the dust

The televisions now 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, have a nice day now

Have a nice day!

On civilisation street 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 deep blue sea

Got to have so much ???

Just to get from A to B

Just to move that little bit faster

??? ??? ??? luxury

Just to move that little bit closer

To the world on your tv

Any everyone needs more money, HA

Cos nothing makes ends meet

Cos time is money, time is money

And I havn't any time

On civilistaion street

Civilistaion...

Street
