I remember you said when you were free,
'shall i go to suburbia, or stay here and take it easy?'

But...
Back you came and suddenly aged
keeper of cages, a slave to your wages
You'd say you'd got most out of you education
But that's just not good enough
You could say that it's me but

The trouble is
It's just like us

It now seems quaint
So much time has passed
Now that we've grown up
We've got to own up at last
You were ambitious, you knew what was there
Now it's the cab fare and nowhere to take the aurprayer

Like the sound of shouting outside my room
That's just not cool enough
I could say that it's you

The trouble is
It's just like us

My body likes routine
My brain can't take it
And i never [bad word] my luck
You could say that it's me but
The trouble is it's just like us
You could say that it's useless
But at least i keep in touch
