I left my home, my family by the ocean
|
Out on my own, to seek my fortune,
|
There's no work to occupy these young hands
|
So look out boy! Your heading for the mainland!
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
And what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothing
|
Everybody needs a start
|
And what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothing
|
Give my country back its heart
|
|
Now I was born on a St. John's street
|
Where all my hopes could meet with defeat
|
I hired my days to higher education
|
No I'm so smart I could rule this comdenation
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
No I'm alone but I'm working everyday
|
I'm getting stoned and blowing all my pay
|
Just to survive I'll do whatever I can
|
No I'm alive, but I cannot be a real man
|
|
[Chorus]
|
