lyrics

Waiting on the outcome of the cut
Decisions made, the reasons covered up
The thought of doing nothing
The thought of doing right
Surrendered forcibly without a fight

(Chorus)
The grass is always greener
Or so we’ve all been told
A certain fake demeanour
And a pot of endless gold
But when they turned the lights out
At the fifteen star hotel
We stumbled round to find it all withheld

Never had a need to look elsewhere
Reclining back in the comfy easy chair
Didn’t spot the signals
Didn’t spot the signs
It wasn’t till the credit got declined

On buyout day the massed all faced the chop
The balance held, the cheques had all been stopped
First they got the teachers
Then they got the pawns
The final grim conclusion was foregone
