Empty Street - Angelic Upstarts

Walking on the empty street with tomorrow on my mind

Every day it seems the same I find it hard to reason why

A reason why

I see the man in the big black car wishing he could have my place

Give him just a week of my life and wipe the smile off from his face

Off from his face

Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last

Why can’t I just look forward?

It’s not sympathy I ask

We’ve reached the turning point;

we’ve reached the point of no return

I don’t think they’ll ever listen so now’s the time to act

Look around can you see my life, just a wide and empty space

Looking for encouragement of a worthwhile thing to do, a thing to do

The country’s in a hell of a state everyday upon the news

It’s all the same, if they win it’s always us they will abuse

They will abuse

Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last

Why can’t I just look forward?

It’s not sympathy I ask

We’ve reached the turning point;

we’ve reached the point of no return

I don’t think they’ll ever listen so now’s the time to act

Walking on the empty street with tomorrow on my mind

Every day it seems the same I find it hard to reason why

A reason why

Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last

Why can’t I just look forward?

It’s not sympathy I ask

We’ve reached the turning point;

we’ve reached the point of no return

I don’t think they’ll ever listen so now’s the time to act

Searching is a task I face, day to day as great as the last

Why can’t I just look forward?

It’s not sympathy I ask

We’ve reached the turning point
