It's going nowhere
Sickness and disease and mad corruption
Something's going wrong
The mountain's getting cold and lonely
The trees are bare

And now we're mobile again
Different girls, laughing girls, forever girls
And it's so loud
Crew have lost again
Ah, they are beaten men
The winning team united
Living for the crowd
These are the hungry daze
These are
These are hungry daze
Hungry daze
Oh, oh, oh, hungry daze
Hungry daze
These are the hungry daze
Ah, hungry daze
Ooh, hungry daze
Hungry daze
Hungry daze
