Satellite Town lyrics

Cabbage everywhere, big potatoes, and now and then

A piece of meat

50.000 people (munch) away on what they can afford

You better come in time or else you're going short

Send the children out cause it's time for daddy's

After dinner nap

And this is sunday afternoon so mother comes to him

Don't you make a noise the wall's are paper-thin

Father used to be much wilder in the old days

But now there are the neighbours they take it

As a radio play

Satellite town, you used to be home

Old man sit on benches near the lake waitin for

The sun to shine

Looking at the gap between two houses 18 stories high

Sun will show up there when it's half past five

Playground is deserted all the children are playing

By the garbage-cans

They lick around the dead beer bottles daddy killed last night

Some are playing mother, father, and child

You and me the parents and he will do the baby

We better tie him up cause he won't like that maybe

Satellite town, you used to be home

Silverbirds are hanging on the corner waiting for

The night to come

Drinking more than they can hold beating up each other

I'm gonna smash your face if you won't be my brother

The later they have business in the shopping center

A place that in the night you better not enter

Satellite town, you used to be home
