The End Lyrics - Sayer Leo

Leo Sayer & David Courtney 

he says he doesn't care 

to the girl with the painted hair 

and staggers through the angry crowd 

like it isn't there 

feels like a wall of sound 

as he crashes down 

no one stops to look when he hits the ground 

we're the nouveau rich 

on a one way trip 

living out on a razor's edge 

just to get our kicks 

we're gonna take a stand 

till the world is in our hands 

and if we win or lose 

we don't give a damn 

hollow people living empty lives 

looking vacant in the neon lights 

who needs the truth 

when you can live a lie? 

can't stop now, it's too late 

'cos we're running blind 

till the end comes like a thunder 

and we all fall under 

no one gives a damn 

come on now, let's meet the end 

he tries to make it home 

head like a block of stone 

his eyes are so closed up now 

his arm so full of dope 

there is nowhere to run 

he cries out but no one comes 

in the back of some dark alley 

he dies alone 

hollow people living empty lives 

hearts feel nothing in the neon lights 

feelings here are so cheap these days 

they don't mean a thing 

no one really cares 

whether we lose or if we win 

yeah -- we're the angry youth 

don't wanna be like you 

yeah -- we're the nouveau riche 

yeah -- we gotcha in our grip 

there's no escape for you 

'cos we're running blind 

yeah, we're the angry youth 

don't wanna be like you 

we've got your bridges crossed 

we won -- you lost 

it's the end
