We were made to believe in dreams we never could achieve We were made to believe in dreams we never could achieve Where are they now, where have they gone? The good times never came along The dreams they sold we bought with our souls Religion, sex and rock'n'roll We were made to believe in dreams we never could achieve

I love it on the subway Everyone looks like they're dying I love it on the subway Everyone's so sick of trying 'Cause we tried And we failed This train has been derailed And it's fucked up forever Everyone's on the never-never You can pray, you can plead But Superman won't save you You can turn on the Bat-signal But Barack Obama can't save you 'Cause it's fucked up forever Everyone's on the never-never Where are the girls who listen to The Smiths Or at least look like they would This is what I miss About the old days And the old ways Of bookstores and record shops We kept it real We kept it pure We made mix-tapes And we listened to The Cure ...Billy Bragg ...Dead Kennedys ...The Mary Chain ...And Fugazi Now it's fucked up forever Everyone's on the never-never

All people are bastards They've got it inside themselves To fuck you over if they can If they can If it's the only way To get what they really need Because you're keeping it from them Just because, just because you can Just because you can All people are angels They've got it inside them To offer you help if they can If they can If it's the only way To get you to love them Because you're keeping it from them Just because, just because you can Just because you can It might be your mother It might be your child It might be your brother Not everyday, just once in a while And it might be your lover It might be your best friend All people are bastards in the end In the end 'Cause all people need love To believe we're safe From the circling wilderness It's the only way To convince ourselves We won't fuck each other over And over and over and over Just because, just because we can Just because we can Just because we can Just because we can
