Candy Floss

Let's paint a picture

Of our lives

Let's make an story

Of it now

A work of friction

That's a fact

Let's sacrifice

This sacred cow

Let's sell the rights

Let's sell the wrongs

Even though it's not enough

Let's sell each night

Let's sell it all

On altars of our stuff

In all the dreams I've come across

You can't survive on Candy Floss

Sans culottes still drawing lots

Desperate to be the boss

Let's make a million

On the side

Let's fake a billion

Better still

Armed with a make up bag

And dreams

Stretch the card and pay the bills

Let's think inside this box

Throw away the key

Let's all survive on Candy Floss

Amphetamine and Fake ID

All the world is stood outside

Looking on with tired eyes

Let them eat this Candy Floss

In this country of who gives a toss

Let's build a bonfire

For this life

Let's set the match

And watch the flames

And while they lick the very sky

Reject the lies

And speak our names

Every day we give our all

For small change and a wake up call

In all the lives I've come across

You can't survive on Candy Floss
