Oh the Milky Way has gone a little sour The leaves dried and the flower fell away I've been sitting, I've been waiting for a sign Inhuman beings taking up all of my time Want to leave but I've got to stay And I'm wondering more everyday Montreal to Hong Kong Where have all the good people gone? Traffic jam but I'm on the shoulder Took ten cops to pull me over Bangkok to Babylon Where have all the good people gone? I haven't met a friend in a long long while They don't check my head but they check my style The modern world is a cold cold world And all I meet are cold cold girls Want to leave but I got to stay And I'm wondering more every day Montreal to Hong Kong Where have all the good people gone? Traffic jam but I'm on the shoulder Took ten cops to pull me over Bangkok to Babylon Where have all the good people gone? And it's always the same We all just turn away We are stealing from ourselves We are feeding off ourselves But we were born in the flames We need a cool breeze and a summer rain We are stealing from ourselves We are feeding off ourselves Oh the Milky Way has gone a little sour The leaves dried and the flower fell away Want to leave but I've got to stay And I'm wondering more everyday Montreal to Hong Kong Where have all the good people gone? Traffic jam but I'm on the shoulder Took ten cops to pull me over Bangkok to Babylon Where have all the good people gone? Time's up and we're running long Where have all the good people gone?
