lyrics

Main street after midnight
Is silent like the grave
They've boarded up the strip club
Just to teach us to behave.
Now I see lawyers and auctioneers
Doing what they do
A place once for the many
Has been gifted to the few

But thats to be expected,
The way that these things go
The flag of progress throws
A long, dark shadow

That's one more for the pool room
Where your photographs all hang
Your lounge room has more leather
Than a motorcycle gang.
See them coming up on every corner;
A guaranteed return
With a bunker in the basement
Should your world begin to burn

Cos thats to be expected
The way that these things go
The flag of progress throws
A long dark shadow

Sorry if I seem a little morbid,
I just don't think that I can stand
Another front page photo
Of old white men shaking hands

But thats what I'm expecting cos
Thats the way that these things go
The flag of progress throws
A long dark shadow
