New Model Army - Great Expectations текст песни

- When I was young I dreamed and dreamed - About all the things that I was going to be - A
Brave explorer holding court - Or a really famous astronaut - Or captain of the England team
- They said "Son, it could all be yours - You just work hard and pay your dues - Don't be
Content with what you've got - There's always more that you can want - Everybody's on the
Make - That's what made this country great"

Ch: - So all I wanted in the end - Was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend
- A little place to call my home - Like a planet that was all my own - Well that's not much to
Ask, it's really not - It's not much to ask, just the same as everybody else

- So welcome to the free for all - The smash and grab, the freeloaders ball - Where everything
Is here for us - If we scream, shout, make a fuss - There's nothing that you can't afford - With
A poisoned tongue and a sharpened sword - Spoilt children in a row - No-one dares to tell them "No"

Ch: - So all I wanted in the end - Was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend
- Everything I touch, everything I see - Fame and fortune, immortality - Well that's not much
To ask, it's really not - It's not much to ask, just the same as everybody else

- So in every heart there's a broken dream - A shattered cause, a might have been - In every
Eye there's a secret tear - In every heart there's a secret fear - That this is it, done, complete
- Resign yourself to your defeat - the bitterness behind the show - That's where spoilt children go
