lyrics

They're screaming empty words
into an empty concrete jungle
and they are dressed for fun, dressed for fun
going slowly down the drain while
getting ready for the rumble
can I have some, now get me some

By the desperation in their eyes
I can tell they believe in their own lies
that they love each other oh so much
kiss kiss bye bye we'll stay in touch

They're screaming empty words
into an empty concrete jungle
and they are dressed for fun, dressed for fun
Admiring one another's bigwig chic
and taking diet tips from an anorectic
the world is here to be their slave
they're the shiny pretender brigade

But by the snootiness in their eyes
I can tell they believe in their own lies
modelled after their god's design
they think that everything is fine
but nothing, nothing could be further from the truth
man is a wolf to man and they are wearing blood red shoes
