Western Decay

Can ride my bike
As much as I liked
Without care on my mind
And being confined to a family prison cell
We have know
We have to see
As the the days go by where people die from causes naturally

We lost those better days
Keep going through a phase

We lost those better days
Keep pulling out the blades
Of western decay

Buildings fade
That's how they're made
If the trees could tell the stories of where it all began to change
The signs fade
We lose the shade
From the wise old oaks
And the dead blue gums
Who have seen the world deflate

We lost those better days
Are we going through a phase
Yeah
We lost those better days
Keep pulling out the blades
Of western decay

Look around you now
Look beyond the crowd
There's a world of fading laughter
Where children ain't allowed
Look around you now
Look beyond the the crowd
There's a world of pain and laughter
Where children are allowed

We lost those better days
Are we going through a phase
Yeah
We lost those better days
Keep pulling out the blades
Of western decay

We lost those better days
Are we going through a phase
Yeah
We lost those better days
Keep pulling out the blades
Of western decay
