And secretaries turn off their laptops
Janitors padlock the gates
for security guards to patrol
their friends for a drink
And they'll all be lonely tonight
you know we can't serve any more
Now the traffic lights change to stop
when there's nothing to go
And by five o 'clock everything's dead,
and every third car is a cab
And ignorant people sleep in their beds
like the dope white mice in the col
And we'll all be lonely tonight,
Telephone exchanges click
The Martians could land in the car park
CCTV in department stores
shoot the same video every day
And the stars of these films
neither die nor get killed
Just survive constant action replay
And nothing ever happens,
And we'll all sing along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight,
And Bill Bull has advertised products
While Angry from Manchester writes
to complain about all the repeats on TV
The stock exchange reports some gains
on the values of copper and tin
While American businessmen
for the price of a hospital wing
But nothing ever happens,
and we'll all sing along like before
And nothing ever happens,
They'll burn down their mosques
And we'll all go along like be fore
And we'll all be lonely tonight
