25 Years

Went to school I studied and got my G.C.E.

City and guilds and my sky diary

But it didn't do no good

Didn't like my looks

So I burnt my books

Spent 25 years doesn't matter anymore

Stand around the streets

And lay around the floor

Watch the world go by

Looking at the sky

25 years, 25 years

They said there's a life up there in the galaxy

The world in collision

There's people with an allergy

25 years of, 25 years of, 25 years

of social research

I started out one day and I worked in a factory

My mind went blank I needed a battery

Didn't do no good

I got the sack, my work was slack

Spent 25 years doesn't matter anymore

Stand around the streets

And lay around the floor

Watch the world go by

Looking at the sky

25 years, 25 years
