It's 5am I still can't sleep
The future's looking ever bleak
Everything I've built's come crashing down
The smiles I used to bring to all
Have turned around and closed their doors
The laughter's vanished in this new ghost town
There's no cushion to break my fall
The crumbs drip slowly from Whitehall
Hanging on for words I need to hear...
We're here for you, it'll be all right
Don't lie awake panicking through the night
Just give it time and you will know
Just how far all those who love you'll go
Is it time to suspend the dream
Or else face life out on the streets?
Storm clouds gather faster by the day
I took responsibility
Faced up every anxiety
But what's the use when power looks away?
We're here for you, it'll be all right
Don't lie awake panicking through the night
Just give it time and you will know
Just how far all those who love you'll go
Think of the ones who weren't so lucky
Left behind by every community
Working their fingers to the bone
Their future is written in stone
