Matt Maltese - Vacant in the 21st Century Lyrics

Here I am living with old ideas
In a country at a loss
With a fetishising boss
He's a family man with a family plan
Laughing in the dispatch box
As another protest lost

And I can feel the edge i can feel the edge
But I still gotta try to sleep through
In this stale room
But I can feel a vacancy at night
And they fail you then they drain you
And I can feel a vacancy at night

The same old dance that same old man
Saying buy your happiness
It's included with the stress
The swindled kids on our seventh drink
Lamenting modern age just trying to get laid

And I can feel the edge i can feel the edge
But I still gotta try to sleep through
In this stale room
But I can feel a vacancy at night
And they fail you then they drain you
And I can feel a vacancy at night

And I know, darling
I've neglected you for my phone
But I can't help it
I'm another hopeless drone nothings changing
Supermarket chains are strong

Oh, but I still gotta try to sleep through
Oh, in this stale room
But I can feel a vacancy at night
And they help you then they fuck you
And I can feel a vacancy at night
