Lyrics for In The Western World
I wake my days, look at the world How it laughs at a man who can have no place Put on a smile, into the streets How they ache for the smell of a sunny field But still machines they grind And life is harder now than it has been before They say you're mad Look at the wealth in the western world For a boy with brains Please come with us We'll buy your soul With the privilege of a chosen few And so machines they grind And life is harder now Than it has been before
