Vacant In The 21st Century
Here I am living with old ideas
In a country at a loss
With a fetishising boss
He's a family man with a family plan
Laughing in the dispatch box
As another protest lost
And I can feel the edge
I can feel the edge
But I still gotta try
To sleep through
In this stale room
But I can feel a vacancy at night
And they fail you
Then they drain you
And I can feel a vacancy at night
The same old dance
That same old man
Saying buy your happiness
It's included with the stress
The swindled kids
On our seventh drink
Lamenting modern age
Just trying to get laid
And I can feel the edge
I can feel the edge
But I still gotta try
To sleep through
In this stale room
But I can feel a vacancy at night
And they fail you
Then they drain you
And I can feel a vacancy at night
And I know, darling
I've neglected you for my phone
But I can't help it
I'm another hopeless drone
Nothings changing
Supermarket chains are strong
Oh, but I still gotta try
To sleep through
Oh, in this stale room
But I can feel a vacancy at night
And they help you
Then they fuck you
And I can feel a vacancy at night
