Get up in the morning and out to school
Mother says there be no work next year
Qualifications once the golden rule
Are now just pieces of paper
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Well, if you look the part well then you'll get the job
In last year's trousers and your oldschool shoes
The truth is, son, it's a buyer's market
They can afford to pick and choose
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because that I dress like this
Doesn't mean I'm a communist
Well, the factories are closing and the army's full
I don't know what I'm going to do
But I've come to see in the land of the free
There's only room for a chosen few
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Well, at 21 you're a top of the scrap heap
At 16 you were top of your class
Well, I dropped outta high school in Campbell, California
Got a guitar and I never looked back
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because that I dress like this
Doesn't mean I'm a communist
Yeah
Woo!
