I've been down park lane and it stinks like any other street And I don't want to go to where you find life is cheap The beggars all want to be loved just like anyone But I won't buy you d** and carry the misery on The desire of now, no desire to know how, the desire of poverty The desire for new, the desires of a few, the desire of poverty You got the logo labels but you got no food to eat If they gave you a million dollars you'd blow it in a week The world owes you a living or so you think You drag your children down leave them teetering on the brink The desire of now, no desire to know how, the desire of poverty The desire for new, the desires of a few, the desire of poverty The desire of want, the desire for won't, the desire of poverty The desire to need, the desire of greed, the desire of poverty The desire of now, no desire to know how, the desire of poverty The desire for new, the desires of a few, the desire of poverty We're all in the gutter but some of us are looking up Born with a silver spoon but you drink from a plastic cup The tacky icons you worship, they 'ain't worth a thing You've set your sights too low, you can't see they pain it brings The desire of now, no desire to know how, the desire of poverty The desire for new, the desires of a few, the desire of poverty The desire of want, the desire for won't, the desire of poverty The desire to need, the desire of greed, the desire of poverty
