Fields Of Dublin 4

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We're scrubbin' up a little bit sleazy We're taking no time for taking it easy We're taking all we can and losing our souls We scramble 'round a little untidy We're working like dogs Monday to Friday Just one hour away from losing control [Chorus] How'd we get it so wrong? How'd we get it so right? How'd we get to become this overnight? How'd we get it so bad? How'd we get it so good? How'd we get to become our livelihoods? I never thought we would... [Verse 2] We walk in our wardrobes studded with labels We've sushi and tofu served on our tables Take that Grande Latte to go We're texting our friends 'cause we've no time to meet them Kids in a crèche, no time to see them I think this tiger's turned out of control [Chorus] How'd we get it so wrong? How'd we get it so right? How'd we get to become this overnight? How'd we get it so bad? How'd we get it so good? How'd we get to become our livelihoods? And maybe we should [Bridge] Take it back to the bad old days When a lap of the beads put you high above the law Bring us back to the good old days When we'd all day lunches and we'd talk of How we had it so wrong But we had it so right And it couldn't be altered overnight When we had it so bad But we had it so good 'Til we struggled to eek our livelihood [Chorus] How'd we get it so wrong? How'd we get it so right? How'd we get to become this overnight? How'd we get it so bad? How'd we get it so good? How'd we get to become our livelihoods? How'd we get it so wrong? How'd we get it so right? How'd we get to become this overnight? How'd we get it so bad? How'd we get it so good? How'd we get to become our livelihoods?
