Lyrics

Metroland [Radio Edit]

[Verse 1]

We live and we die

We love and we lie

In hope and in plan

Consumed in Metroland

[Chorus]

You say, run away

I say, here we stand

Today is yesterday

Everyday in Metroland

[Verse 3]

We fail and we fall

We fear and we crawl

With faith in our hands

We've burned in Metroland

[Chorus]

You say, run away

I say, here we stand

Today is yesterday

Everyday in Metroland

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

You say, run away

I say, here we stand

Today is yesterday

Everyday in Metroland

[Outro]

Metroland, Mеtroland

Every day in Metroland

Metroland
