Get Used To It

There are some lyrics here I can’t figure out:

“Getting Used To Uselessness“
by Jon Langford & Skull Orchard

getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness

never knew the tenderness
lost his only friend
never had much sympathy
or kindness in the end

rags to riches, move on up
from hunger into ???
drank a cup of bitterness
where’s the sin in that?

getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness

youth is squandered, tossed away
before did us begun ???
unhappy traffic claims us all
a new day on the run

hey hey, fantastico!
hit the top and then you’ll know
create, destroy, confess
getting used to uselessness

getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness

always conscious of our power
always conscious of our chains
power slips away but. yes
something else remains

after all our time
and the killing that was made
live and die before the middle ???
happy to play the victim again (useless!)

getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness
getting used to uselessness
