Hey this is the good news
You have never had it so good
So they say
Hey this is the good news
You have never had it so good
But you'll pay
The karaoke fantasy
Has replaced reality
After all it's Friday night
Some of us
Will drink our beer
Some of us
Are full of cheer
Some of us
Have realised
Hey this is the bad news
You have never it so bad
You've been had
Hey this is the bad news
You have never it so bad
It's so sad
The karaoke fantasy
Has just met reality
No one's coming out
Tonight
Some of us
Will have a beer
Some of us
Will hide our fears
Some of us have
Realised
The karaoke fantasy
Doesn't even get plugged in
No one turns on the light
Some of us
Would like a beer
Some of us
Will disappear
Some of us
Had realised
And I knew it would stumble
And I knew we would falter
Politicians had bought you
When they couldn't afford to
Now it ends in tears
