No Shangri-La

Jenny had a baby when she was sixteen
she worked three jobs a day just to make ends meet
money didn't happen for anybody she knew.
it never changed for the better I'm just tellin' the truth

tell me who, who can you trust
what was shiny has turned to rust.

there will be no Shangri
-la for us

you can give a shovel and I could bury myself
you can save all your troubles for someone else
but it's too late baby you know we missed the bus
there will be no future Shangri-la for us
tell me who, who can you trust
it never used to be them or us there will
be no Shangri-la for us

the land of milk and honey
was just a fantasy.

tell me what good is a kingdom
if you cannot find the key
I still do remember way back in the day
When the doctor didn't give you the means to get away

You had to fend for yourself and then make your move
There's nothin' left for you now nothin' you can do
