[Verse 1]
We were raised in happy times
There couldn't have be a happier town
The kids got bored and are making noise
And everybody's putting them down
See the scraggly haircuts
See the shining clothes
Everybody's pissed off
'Cause everybody knows
[Chorus]
We're going no place
We've got no place left to go
Shining through like black on black on black
[Verse 2]
Marilyn works in a boutique
She likes pretty clothes
She hates men because they're all alike
And women leave her cold
She's been down through the discontent
She knows how it goes
Everybody wants to be beautiful
But nobody wants to know
[Chorus]
We're going no place
We've got no place left to go
Shining through like black on black on black
[Bridge]
My mind tends to overload
Waiting for this whole thing to explode
[And weekend's?] coming up with a birthday, brace
[Verse 3]
Marilyn's in a black alleyway
Strung out by the [dough?]
They've been shooting up a good time
Because they've been a little bit low
[They forgot?] to take us
But it'll be over soon
Gazing into their faces
It's just like looking at their tombs
[Chorus x2]
We're going no place
We've got no place left to go
Shining through like black on black on black
