Left and right, theyre calling me back home
And Ive heard their cries
Ive felt it in my bones
Left and right, they choke me tight
Im overworn and out of sight
Ive heard their cries
Ive felt it in my bones
Been searching for a long time, in this town
Were looking for a goldmine
So we can get out
To find a place, or waste away
Another day that goes by
Another card, we know we should be grateful
But sometimes its hard, were so alone
But its not for long
Well maybe we were disavowed
Careful what you wish for now
Nothing lasts forever
Time will always take its toll
And if a broken home is on the shelf
You know what we should ask ourselves
Were we ever happy acting in a family role
Been dreaming of those bright lights, in the city
Waking with a cold fright
Oh what a pity, a bad nights sleep
The fourth this week
Youre longing for a partner
To get you through, wishing that in time
Youll find someone to hold onto to
But maybe we were disavowed
Careful what you wish for now
Nothing lasts for ever
Time will always take its toll
And if a broken home is on the shelf
You know what we should ask ourselves
Were we ever happy acting in a family role
Heavens have you seen
The news thats on the screen
Its all violence, heartbreak and misery
Heavens have you seen
What they have done to me
Im a hollow shell from the grim 90s
Maybe we were disavowed
Careful what you wish for now
Nothing lasts forever, time will always take its toll
And if a broken home is on the shelf
We know what we should ask ourselves
Were we ever happy acting in a family role?
