[Verse 1]
All the lost friendships
Emptiness rewound
She walks out into the street
Her feet don't make a sound
Points of contact
Eroded years ago
All the people she used to know now
They don't want to know
[Chorus]
And she's lucky to be living in the western world
We've abolished poverty from everybody's world
[Verse 2]
'Round the corner
To the local shop
Her face is familiar, but
Her name is not
The girl on the checkout
Dreams of going out tonight
The boy of her vision
That's never spokеn to her, but she hopes that hе might
[Chorus]
And she's lucky to be living in the western world
We've abolished poverty from everybody's world
[Verse 3]
Walks down through the park
Stops to feed the ducks
Checks the numbers of her [?]
Some day she knows she'll have some love
Sits down in the kitchen
To drink a cup of tea
Reads in the news paper
About a man who shot at his TV
[?] is the end
He didn't like what he saw there
Pissed off people doing things
That he had never done
[Chorus]
But he was lucky to be living in the western world
We've abolished poverty from everybody's world
Everybody's world
Everybody's world
