lyrics

I went to pay the rent just the other day
no I just can't believe what the landlord said
he said "you know you can't stay much longer...
you'll have to sleep outside"

well, back in the 80s everything was good
I had the hope for the future like a young boy should
But now it seems those dreams are over
We're gonna pay the price

State of a nation calling!
State of a nation falling down
All around my eyes

Faced that I can't pay the rent
So I gotta pitch a tent
Now I sleep outside

Back in the 80s everything was good
I had the hope for the future like a young boy should
But now it seems those dreams are over
We're gonna pay the price

For the greedy sins of a rich old man
Making love to the profits of a wasted land
I hope his days are numbered
Even if we have to fight

It’s a state of a nation calling!
State of a nation falling down
All around my eyes

Faced, that I can't pay the rent
So I gotta pitch a tent
Now I sleep outside

Yeah I sleep outside
Don't you know I sleep outside
