Save The Day
Budapest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say, it's the only way, but they, they only want it when it's there
So here I come to save the day, the future's here and the past is yesterday
They say, it's the only way, they say, they only want it when it's there
We're not going on a holiday, we do a lot of work and we don't get paid
Stand up don't walk away, take your pride and swallow
Life's full of much unwanted waste, crime pays and the junkies walk away
But for husband and the good son, they speak ill at ease but they dare not run
