Ghost Town

Excuse the profanity 
Where the f**k is humanity 
We are just about clinging onto our sanity 
Is this way of living our new reality

Rein-acting The Specials
You remember ghost town 
All shops boarded up 
Nobody around 
This wouldn’t be funny in the eyes of a clown
Not a smile in sight but plenty of frowns
If this city was a dog, it’d be put down 

We have got every desire at the click of a mouse
There’s just no need to leave the house 

Inside we reside 
Memories fill our mind 
Of when we once looked a market trader 
Right in the eyes 
You at least got a smile 
Once in a while 
Now to speak to a human 
Theres a number to dial 
I’ll call 999
There’s a crime been committed
You’ve killed the humanity 
This was never permitted

Bring some life to the streets 
Meet and greet 
What is the point in these lonely old seats
Ones facing north 
The other, east 
No chit chat for me 
When I rest my feet
