high street gods

madman, madmen
in a void you found nothing
madman, madmen
in you choice you chose to leave

badman, badmen
unpleasant unchanged, always there
batman, hatman
aristocracy and unashamed guilt

camden, cockney
dealing in the rockies
craftsman, crackman
enterprise allowance scheme lackeys

passed on, passed out
free gifts and good deals
crashed out and cashed in
listen to us rocking

sudden high, fast bucks
flowing in a high street
come down, payout
high street gods are lacking
