It’s a long time gone now
It’s been a long time ago
When you left your home
And headed down the road

Then you left the coolness
Of your pretty little room
And those glamour clothes
Of your silly aimless life
You are alone now
No one left to lead the way
Empty pockets always talk
About hard times

You need a good life - map
Something easy to understand
But you can’t find that number
On your phone

CHORUS :

’Cause now it’s up to you
Up to you
Down on the road
Streets are hungry and dark
Full of anger and despair
Were the right to happiness
Is dead and gone

No happy ending here
There’s no eastern paradise
And the dreams are turn
To dust inside your mouth

Now you really understand
There’s a poor and different world
That no show has ever told you
On TV

Life is hard, you know
There’s indifference everywhere
And the masters always fake
Their gentle ways
