Up in the morning and out to school
Mother says therell 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

If you look the part youll get the job
In last years trousers and your old school 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

The factories 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 a future for the chosen few

Just because youre better than me
Doesnt mean Im lazy
Just because youre going forwards
Doesnt mean Im going backwards

At twenty one youre on to of the scrapheap
At sixteen you were top of the class
All they taught you at school
Was how to be a good worker
The system has failed you, dont fail yourself

Just because youre better than me
Doesnt mean Im lazy
Just because youre going forwards
Doesnt mean Im going backwards
