Up in the morning and out to school
|
Mother says there'll be no work next year
|
Qualifications once the Golden Rule are now just pieces of paper
|
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
|
Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards
|
Well if you look the part well then
|
You'll get the job in last year's trousers and your old school shoes
|
The truth is son it's a buyer's market they can afford to pick and choose
|
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm a lazy
|
Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a communist
|
Well the factory's are closing and the army's full
|
I don't know what I'm going to do
|
But I've come to see in the land of the free
|
There's only room for a chosen few
|
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm a lazy
|
Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards
|
Well at 21 you're atop of the scrap heap
|
At 16 you were top of your class
|
Well I dropped outta high school in Campbell, California
|
Got a guitar and I never looked back
|
Just because your better than me doesn't mean I'm a lazy
|
Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a communist
|
