YouÂ’ve got a lot of nerve coming around here acting like
youÂ’re someone else
Cos no two-bit playerÂ’s gonna have it over me
So when youÂ’re out playing games and you get caught donÂ’t
expect my help
Cos when the rules get dirty they can be a bit hard to

YouÂ’ve got love for everything that I donÂ’t want
But you mean a lot more to me

YouÂ’d better send me a postcard
And tell me what itÂ’s like in the real world
Learning your lessons
You had a lot of fun but youÂ’ll be back soon

Now you never thought the day would come you were left
all by yourself
But turn a couple more pages and the endingÂ’s there to see
So when the roofÂ’s caving in and you get caught donÂ’t
expect my help
Because all the money in the world wonÂ’t buy you what you need
You told me all about the things that you couldnÂ’t believe

And tied them up hoping that they wouldnÂ’t breathe
ThereÂ’s food on the table but itÂ’s going cold
You lost your appetite for life as you were getting old
The questions that you had you kept them to yourself
And went about your life to increase your wealth
The years of prediction all come down to this
You canÂ’t help wondering what it is that you missedÂ…
