When we were at school I thought he had it sussed. Fighting the law with the rest of us. Smoking, drinking, acting cool.. ('Til) they started treating him like a fool.
So what you gonna do, you gonna stick with the crowd. Walk the streets of the city following the biggest mouth. They want you for their dreams full of hate and oppression.
Everybody's got a number tattooed on their soul. And the time's gonna come boy, when your number's called. Everybody gets a uniform and a hut to live in.
Cheats never prosper, crime don't pay, The meek shall inherit come judgement day,. Peace in our time, no pain no gain, management decisions, insurance claims,.
Well you won't hear us on the radio or Top Of The Pops. 'Cos we're blanked. And I wonder what is that we've done. Oh he was only having some fun. What went wrong.
i got home this morning 'bout a quarter to four. i found my baby headin' out the door. 'cause i been out dancin all night long. she thought i been romancin' but she got it wrong.
Well I worked on a site and I soldered up pipes. And I still ended up with nothing left to show. So I thought I'd give it one more go. I met this bloke and I thought it was a joke.
It can't be right what I'm reading here. No one believes in all this stuff no more. Our ideas don't see eye to eye. You get your press with a pocketfull of lies.
I fit central heating, I have done it now for years. I have got all the know how I have got all the gear. I used to earn my money working on a building site.
I see it in the women, the coldness in their eyes. So shallow in their minds, so predictable in desire. I see it in the bosses whose hands hold people's lives.
We were born by the Thames' running water, sons of the social disorder. Go to school, get a job, be a fool or a yob and prepare yourself for gaol. But we tired of the constant surrender to those with a hidden agenda.
From the streets of Aberdeen to the Brighton scene. There's something going wrong. From the woolacomb shore to the tots dance floor. They all shout "what's going on?".
Years of being told you ain't as good as us. Join the line, sign your name. And they all said that our country's going to bust. But no one's fooling us again.
Years of being told you ain't as good as us. Join the line, sign your name. And they all said that our country's going bust. But no-one's fooling us again.
When she's hot it's the heat of a burning at the stake. And when she's cold it's the chill of a frozen Moscow lake. And when she smiles is it real or the smile an assassin makes.
[Chorus]. Droogs dont run. Droogs dont run. . If you're in any trouble. You know we'll be right there. . [Chorus]. . We don't take no shit from no one.
There are people who know everything about you. Every place that you've been every job you do. State of health state of mind it's the world today. It's all down in their files and computers too.
Here I stand head in hand. Turn my face to the wall. If she's gone I can't go on. Feelin' two-foot small. Everywhere people stare. Each and every day.
Tower blocks we lived in all come tumbling down. Moved out to another slum in another part of town. Playing football in the street and pissing in the lift.
You are so beautiful. To me. You are so beautiful. To me. Can't you see. You're everything I hoped for. You're everything I need. You are so beautiful.
