The Glittering Prizes

In the past I always tried

I never got amongst the glittering prizes

I put it down to confidence

Or something trendy

Like an emotional complex

Thinking to myself that I've got something to prove

Waiting for the chance to accept my point of view

Pretty soon you will recognize me

Glittering prizes for me

Glittering prizes for me

I wear a clean shirt every day

I quite enjoy my job as an office boy

The novelty begins to fade

I never get the chance

To play with executive toys

Thinking to myself that I've got something to prove

Waiting for the chance to accept my point of view

Pretty soon you won't recognize me

Glittering prizes for me

Glittering prizes for me
