Nowhere Fast

This is our future and it starts with a C It stands for care in the community And I've got you to care for me So I can care for you The north and south are divided no more So you and I can be equally poor And all the things I love you for Won't pay for food and gas And flattery will get you nowhere fast What we need is a roof overhead And old settee and a room with a bed And old TV to feed your head With news and films and soap Maybe then we can try for a child The news at 10 with a beautiful smile A boy or girl to save the world With peace and love for you And peace and love Will get you nowhere too And I know that it won't be you And you know it won't be me This is the future and it starts with a C It stands for care in the community And I've got you to care for me So I can care for you The north and south are divided no more So you and I can be equally poor And all the things that I adore Won't pay for food and gas And flattery will get you nowhere fast
