What has happened to community
Now people have bought and sold their homes
I no longer know who's living down my street
I keep thinking the neighbours are burglars or thieves

Chorus
But it was you promised harmony, but you brutalised us all
It was you who loved the family, but you threw
Them to the wall
And you and your morality is the sound of closing doors
And to think that we, we thought the `Seventies' was bad in Disgraceland

Feels like the third world's come to me
Like some weird package tour in reverse
All this homelessness and poverty
From one of the richest nations on earth

Chorus
But it was you promised harmony, but you brutalised us all
It was you who loved the family, but you threw
Them to the wall
And you and your morality is the sound of closing doors
And to think that we, we thought the `Seventies' was bad in Disgraceland

We fight for all that is useless and give our 'family silver' away
We're an economic shambles but we still think we're great
We know the cost of virtually everything but
We know the value of nothing at all
Frustration is eating at me
I am so angry I can barely speak
That these people have the audacity
To justify just about anything

Chorus
But it was you promised harmony, but you brutalised us all
It was you who loved the family, but you threw
Them to the wall
And you and your morality is the sound of closing doors
And to think that we, we thought the `Seventies' was bad in Disgraceland
