Whatever happened to the old brigade
The hopes we had, the plans we made?
Days and nights we spent together
Now those days, they're gone forever
Marty sold it and he made the grade
Emigrated to the USA
Now he's working for Edison Con
On a research project making a bomb
Ben been selling retirement homes
Pinstripe, whistle, telephone
Ripping off pensions don't look that good
Been into some other garbood
Back those shoulders
Swing those hips
Wise up, suckers
Read my lips
Everybody got new opportunities
Knock, knock, knocking in the boom time
New opportunities
Let's forget about the gloom time
We've all got new opportunities
Knock, knock, knocking in the boom time
New opportunities
Let's forget about the doom time
Soon time
Michael's happy with the cats and dogs
Giving up people is a total loss
Says dumb animals have got no choice
Fire bombs to purchase to give 'em a voice
Dave just privatized his council flat
Home owner, drop of a hat
Interest went up, he couldn't pay
Big corporation gonna take it away
Shrug those shoulders
Just get hip
Wise up, suckers
Read my lips
Everybody got new opportunities
Knock, knock, knocking in the boom time
New opportunities
Let's forget about the gloom time
We've all got new opportunities
Knock, knock, knocking in the boom time
New opportunities
Let's forget about the doom time
Soon time
Living in a boom time
Living in a boom time
Say, we're all living in a boom time now
Jamie's working out at the gym
No more dangerous living for him
Given up alcohol and ecstasy
Ever since he diagnosed HIV
