We've just done what we've been told to do, be a good boy go to school Go to sixth form college, have you got the knowledge? NO! You must spend fifteen thousand pounds and more It doesn’t matter that you’re very poor Only then will you be allowed to train And perhaps obtain a slightly bigger brain.
Don't stress, its only money you don't have Don't worry it WILL end in a job Are you sure? Of course we are told Don't be silly go to uni and let your life unfold!
Ten years later with no job and massive debt Call centre jobs only last for six months so here we sit Why are we here? What’s our purpose? We are young men with nothing to drive us.
Let us make things again, put us in the Army Let us be head of the family. We don't know our place any more We're lost without meaning Lots of men standing around idle Doing nothing just leaning.
