A TOUGH DAY AT THE TOP

Streetlights flicker, shadows creep along the desolated street, no-one understands the state we're in, no-one understands but me.

Punks and freaks in leathers shine, another time, a world divine,
Punks and freaks in leathers shine, another time, a world divine,

He said "Call me Kengingtone, gonna double your rent, renovict, and move you on. It will all soon be forgotten."

It's a tough day, a tough day at the top, the whole room you could hear a pin drop. A tough day at the top for the man.

The good news we fired a president, the bad news is now we got two of them, and they're not right in the head, the world pop! A tough day at the top.

So tell me narrator, I whisper low, is the elMo still where the wild things go? A flicker of sadness crosses his face, worn to creases by time's embrace.

Punks and freaks in leathers shine, another time, a world divine,
Punks and freaks in leathers shine, another time, a world divine,

Milk crates at the Bagel, drum shell at the Laundromat.

It's a tough day, a tough day at the top. We found a hard way to make a penny drop. A tough day at the top for the man.

We got a black pope, we got a white pope, we got poison we got an antidote, we got a good cop, we got a bad cop, well who cares? You still got yourself shot.

So tell me narrator, I whisper low, does the elMo still stand where I go? A flicker of sadness crosses his face, a cigarette butt stepped on by boots of disgrace. "Took it to market! Took it to market! You're not even worth it! You take up our air! Taxpayer! Rateslayer!"
