Do you remember Lou Macari? We'd all walk hand-in-hand
Get a trade, or join the army, one of those would make you a man
You know we used to build things in my day
But it's all on computers now
We'll hit the self destruct in your brain, cus
The algorithm knows just how
And they'll build you a city if you let their name above the door
And they say now they need you, like they've never needed us before
We're all in this together, but it's not the way it feels, is it
Don't dare hope for better, they say it's always been the way it's been
But I'm not sure how real that is
It's been a while since we last saw you, come online and have some free fun
Be responsible while we extort you, if you were meant to win then you might have won
Anyway, who've we got on Saturday? A line of toddlers wearing billboards
Embed a brand inside a young brain - oh just focus on the football
And they'll build you a city if you let their name above the door
And they say now they need you, like they've never needed us before
We're all in this together, but it's not the way it feels, is it
And don't dare hope for better, they say it's always been the way it's been
But I'm not sure how real that is
They say it's always been the way it's been
But I'm not sure how real that is
They say it's always been the way it's been
But I'm not sure how real that is
I'm not sure how real that is
Do you remember Lou Macari?
We'd all walk hand-in-hand
Get a trade, or join the army
One of those would make you a man
