Once Twice Sold

Once you had a reason
Something to believe in
and to call your own
Now youve lost the faith
Concede to what they taught
Its so sad to say

And it has come down to this
Were selling individuality
Cocaine, make-up and happy things
Can be bough for nominal fees

Once Twice Sold
Were lousing all our souls
To the by-products of politicians
Who remind me more of militias

Years later you degree
Collects dust and does nothing
What happened to your dreams
Of Pacific shores and Labradors
But you need cash and trendy stores
It just makes my heart break
When I always hear
We lost another one today
