Lyrics Levellers – Where The Hell Are We Going To Live?

Text:

When our Mave and I was married
Tried to settle down
And all we need’s half a million quid
For to buy a two up and two down

We were on the council waiting list
Number six thousand and five
We’re due for a house in 2001
That’s assuming we’re both still alive

Where the hell are we gonna live?
Where the hell are we gonna live?
Some miserable mansion up in the sky
Walking around in a block a mile high
Tellin’ my friends that I’d much rather die
Where the hell are we gonna live?

Well, it’s all a bleedin’ fiddle
Forgive me for bein’ so rude
I know we could save for the mortgage right now
If the two of us stopped eating food
Where the hell do our kids play?
Where the hell do our kids play?
No ball game allowed, stay off of the grass
Keep out of the way, don’t block up the path
Shove all your plans right up your…

Where the hell are we gonna live?
Where the hell are we gonna live?
Some miserable mansion up in the sky
Walking around in a block a mile high
Tellin’ my friends that I’d much rather die
Where the hell are we gonna live?

They’re building battery farms for humans

Where houses stood before
Where there used to be just one family
Now they’re tryin’ to keep 24
There’s no shops, playgrounds no boozers
In the architects’ great plan
You may wanna live like a chicken my friend
But I wanna live like a man

Where the hell are we gonna live?
Where the hell are we s’posed to live?
Some miserable mansion up in the sky
Walking around in a block a mile high
Tellin’ my friends that I’d much rather die
Where the hell are we gonna live?

Where the hell are we gonna live?
Where the hell are we s’posed to live?
Some miserable mansion up in the sky
Walking around in a block a mile high
Tellin’ my friends that I’d much rather die
Where the hell are we gonna live?
