Up in the morning and out to school Mother says there be no work next year Qualifications once the Golden Rule are now just pieces of paper Just because youre better than me doesnt mean Im lazy Just because youre going forwards doesnt mean Im going backwards Well if you look the part well then youll get the job in last years trousers and your oldschool shoes The truth is son its a buyers market they can afford to pick and choose Just because youre better than me doesnt mean Im lazy Just because I dress like this doesnt mean Im a Communist Well the factorys are closing and the armys full I dont know what Im going to do But Ive come to see in the land of the free Theres only room for the chosen few Well at 21 youre atop of the scrap heap At 16 you were top of your class Well I dropped outta high school in Cambell, CA Got a guitar and I never looked back
