Momentous Changes

A room without a view
Where the clock has stopped
Far from the global soapbox
The small town circus never comes

They roll up the streets at night
You're saving up for the bright lights
But meantime the world rushes on
With all these momentous changes

To take you in your stride
All these momentous changes
And you've got so much on you mind
This is the dumbest thing to get so stuck

It costs a fortune just to keep up
For all that, the money never comes
New skills you should be trying
All you can offer is joined-up writing

Meantime the world rushed on
With all these momentous changes
You're getting left behind
By all these momentous changes

And you've got so much on your mind
Someone should pick you out
Show you where to start
Show you how to take part

In all these momentous changes
You just feel deprived
By all these momentous changes
And you've got so much on your mind
