|
Sure it's a gas |
|
(We're) Stuck in an English class |
|
Can't even dream |
|
So it's hard to accept the role you're given |
|
When you're sittin' there staring at the ceiling |
|
Wishing you were so very far from here |
|
When you're 13 |
|
What fors and whys |
|
If he's got it why can't I |
|
You're my queen |
|
And I dream about you when I'm in my bed |
|
And if all of these things are like you said |
|
Then I'd rather be in another scene |
|
When I'm 14 |
|
Just not fair |
|
I'm not getting anywhere |
|
Oh hard as a stone |
|
They expect us to make it out alone |
|
And they scream at us when we're on the phone |
|
And they lecture us all about routine |
|
When you're 15 |
|
Get out of here |
|
You're crowding my tender years |
|
Don't say you see |
|
Cos you'd forgotten what it's like to be |
|
And I'm sure that it's changed to some degree |
|
Christ's advice ain't never as it seemed |
|
When you're 16 |
|
Four years go |
|
You've fallen before you know |
|
You're now of age |
|
And you're thrown in a different cage |
|
And you're faced with another blank page |
|
And I know I don't need to be told |
