Lyrics

We live and we die
We love and we lie
In hope and in plan
Installed in Metroland
So when will a life
Elegance in decline
Controlled on command
Consumed in Metroland
You say run away
I say here we stand
Today is yesterday
Every day in Metroland
We fail and we fall
We fear and we crawl
With faith in our hands
We've burned in Metroland
You say run away
I say here we stand
Today is yesterday
Every day in Metroland
You say run away
I say here we stand
Today is yesterday
Every day in Metroland
Metroland, Metroland
Metroland, in Metroland
Every day in Metroland
Metroland
Metroland
