We stand here trapped and so angry These walls are crumblin' down around me We've never got any money It never seems to be around anymore So c'mon, c'mon release me baby Only if you could C'mon, c'mon relieve me darlin' This boy ain't what he should be tonight This is no big-big moment Can't see a second chance They'd even stop us from dancing And try and end our romance The emptiness that surrounds me This inner city decay It doesn't stop me from waiting To love our life our own way So c'mon, c'mon release me baby Only if you could C'mon, c'mon relieve me darlin' This boy ain't what he should be tonight This boy ain't what he should be tonight This boy ain't what he should be tonight Together we fight We'll make it tonight The same the whole world over No love to save our souls Some people think it's funny Already reached their goals Praching Victorian values Now in this day and age No wonder we're still angry We can't contain our rage anymore Obe diama Obe denusu C'mon, c'mon release me baby C'mon, c'mon relieve me darlin' This boy ain't what he should be tonight
