I woke up in the morning I was looking for a sign
|
I thought I was doing well and everything was fine
|
But as the hours past and it did not last
|
The people laughed as they walked on past
|
They looked at me strange as they walked out of range
|
I heard their idle threats try to put me to the test
|
I was up all day and I was up all night
|
Wondering when things would turn out right
|
My heart it bleeds for those who cannot see the right from wrong
|
They can't find a way out though they say they are strong
|
Contented and confined to a life of misery
|
Like a blind mans ambition to swim the raging sea
|
I did my best to beat the rest, to be a man and work it out
|
But people said I was going mad
|
That I'd lost all sanity I'd ever had
|
Was it the drugs or was it the pressure
|
Could have been life on the never never
|
Plastic people were all around
|
Happy with their dreams and the safe pop sound
|
Don't put me down cos I'm different to you
|
Don't slag me off and I won't slag you
|
Beat me up if it pleases you
|
You are Mr. Nobody I can see through you
|
You've got your car and you've got your house
|
You're kids are very happy in the happy happy house
|
A holiday in Spain you need a break
|
Dancing in the Discos until the day break
|
Hit your kids if they step out of line
|
Send them to school make sure they do fine..
