Jam - The Great Depression lyrics

I think we must have all gone mad<br>Maybe right turned over<br>They promise us the earth<br>Instead we've got the great depression<br>Now you're free and easy with the base<br>You blame your brothers and sisters<br>And neurotics say sod the rest<br>It's the new dissention<br><br>Into the abyss<br>By pushing forwards<br>It's always down<br>It's a desperate war<br>You're trying to blow yourselves up<br>You don't care who you stand... with the help about<br>Hey hey - well that's not the way<br><br>No sense or reason in your fussing and fighting<br>And your violent obsession<br>Who's ever really left feeling fine<br>After the great depression? <br>No sense of purpose in the competion<br>Keeping up with the jones's<br>You buy a house,<br>You buy a car<br>You buy a marriage and a bed of roses<br><br>Into the abyss<br>By pushing forwards<br>It's always down<br>It's a desperate war<br>You're trying to blow yourselves up<br>You don't care who you stand ... with the help about<br><br>Hey hey - well that's not the way
