DOWN BY LAW
"At Home In The Wasteland"
(Dave Smalley)

You're looking around
Trying not to notice
That things are really falling down
Everywhere we go
We see the signs there
And I don't see it coming round
Will I ever know
A brighter future staying here
Will I ever know
All of the promises from years ago
But as we grew we know
They're far from here
Will we ever know
A brighter future
Or see a 1,000 points of light
Just all the talking of politicians
Who never seem to get it right
Will I ever know
A brighter future staying here
Will I ever know
All of the promises from years ago
But as we grew we knew
It's far from here
Far from here...
Sometimes I get so wound up
I want to take my mind
I want to get away
But everywhere I look
I know it's the same as yesterday
Will we ever know
A brighter future?
