Down and Out by Pleasure Heads Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Daybreak on the street, so desolate so bright
Guess I have to thank the regime for sending buses on time
Pressed next to a suit, punctual enough for the window seat
Conversation's rude when you're serving the economy
Tyres glide, carrying necks and ties to Western Paradise

[Chorus]
Would you rather be down and out
Than high and trapped inside?
There's only so much fulfilment
Working hard can buy

[Verse 2]
Starlit streets seem alright
From the armchair not the road, Oh No
Nightfall on the curb, what a place to fall asleep
Harder to be heard when you're staring up from someone's feet
Change in life's only supplied by generous passers-by

[Chorus]
Would you rather be down and out
Than high and trapped inside?
There's only so much fulfilment
Working hard can buy
[Verse 3]
Feeling the grind of the gears of progress in motion, double time
Spare a thought for those who have got nothing

[Chorus]
Would you rather be down and out
Than high and trapped inside?
There's only so much fulfilment
Working hard can buy
I'm doing overtime

[Chorus]
Would you rather be down and out
Than high and trapped inside?
There's only so much fulfilment
Working hard can buy
