Let's paint a picture
Of our lives
Let's make an story
Of it now
A work of friction
That's a fact
Let's sacrifice
This sacred cow
Let's sell the rights
Let's sell the wrongs
Even though it's not enough
Let's sell each night
Let's sell it all
On altars of our stuff
In all the dreams I've come across
You can't survive on Candy Floss
Sans culottes still drawing lots
Desperate to be the boss
Let's make a million
On the side
Let's fake a billion
Better still
Armed with a make up bag
And dreams
Stretch the card and pay the bills
Let's think inside this box
Throw away the key
Let's all survive on Candy Floss
Amphetamine and Fake ID
All the world is stood outside
Looking on with tired eyes
Let them eat this Candy Floss
In this country of who gives a toss
Let's build a bonfire
For this life
Let's set the match
And watch the flames
And while they lick the very sky
Reject the lies
And speak our names
Every day we give our all
For small change and a wake up call
In all the lives I've come across
You can't survive on Candy Floss
