It's too late for our past
It's too late to birth a middle class
(You want it, you need to really want it)
It's too late to grow a brand new country from the bones
(You want it, you need to really want it)
(You want it, you need to really want it)

Way, way back in the day (back in the day)
There was nothing we could do, oh no
Nothing we can do, oh no

It's too late to recover (I see the vultures coming, I see the vultures coming)
It's too late to satisfy the mob (I see the vultures coming, I see the vultures coming)

You say that things used to be better
You say that things are getting better, well?
You say that things are getting better
You say that things used to be better

Way, way back in the day (back in the day)
There was nothing we could do, oh no
Nothing we can do, oh no

Way, way back in the day (back in the day)
There was nothing we could do, oh no
Nothing we can do, oh no

No-oooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
Oh no-oooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
Oh no-oooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-ooh

I tell you it doesn't really matter

No-oooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
Oh no-oooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
Oh no-oooh-ooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
Please tell me it doesn't really matter
