Midnight Oil — Basement Flat

Must be time for a second chance I can't escape this basement flat Writers cramp and claustrophobia Must be time for a better place My sink leaks and the rats have won the race Over and over What can I do There must be some solution Must be time for a new idea Pack up my things and get away from here They're never gonna trace me People upstairs make so much noise Drive me mad with their electrical toys Louder and louder What can I do There must be some solution What can I do There must be some solution (On your feet boy) Must be time for a second chance I can't escape this basement flat Writers cramp and claustrophobia Must be time for a better place My sink leaks and the rats have won the race Over and over What can I do There must be some solution What can I do There must be some solution What can I do There must be some solution If you stay in my pen Don't turn your radio up loud Don't bring no pets No animals No TV sets No girlfriends there Don't come around Don't be undone Don't steal the faith Don't make it right And one more thing Don't fight Don't steal Don't come...
