Somewhere To Go

I hear the sound of bells & sirens
Wired alarmed & face to face
Intruded in exclusion zone
Looking for a sleeping place
Locks & clocks & iron bars
Barking dogs, securicars
Electric lights & concrete grass
Getting scared to even ask

Somewhere to go -- Without being arrested
Somewhere to go -- Without being scared
Somewhere to go -- Without being questioned
Somewhere to go -- Where somebody cares

Put on screen to serve the public
Here's the problem now drop the subject
Asked some questions un-requested
Next day quietly arrested
A token trials to stop the rumours
Hordes of desperate non-consumers
In a rush to beat the systematic
Silencing of their existence

Somewhere to go -- Without being arrested
Somewhere to go -- Without being scared
Somewhere to go -- Without being questioned
Somewhere to go -- Where somebody cares

And they bought in all their cameras
And they made a film about us
About my friends and all their problems
And now we're on the television

They made a documentary
Showed it late night on T.V.
Raising audience figures
For the regular advertisers
The public conscience shivered
Then turned the T.V. over
This is homelessness delivered
Too close to home

Somewhere to go -- Without being arrested
Somewhere to go -- Without being scared
Somewhere to go -- Without being questioned
Somewhere to go -- Where somebody cares
Somewhere to go -- Somewhere to go
Somewhere to go -- Somewhere to go
Somewhere to go -- Somewhere to go
Somewhere to go -- Somewhere to go
