Screw You Lyrics - Elton John

When I was a boy I had a lot of fun 

I lived by the sea, I was a fisherman's son 

My mother she was a fisherman's wife 

She was scrubbing floors most of her life 

They said screw you 

I ain't got nothing to lose 

I could paper a matchbox 

With the money I use 

At the school I attended I got into fights 

I was beaten in an alley on a cold winter night 

The teachers cared less for the blood in our veins 

They got most of their thrills out of using a cane

They said screw you 

Oh you bloody young fools 

I could get more sense 

Out of the back end of a mule 

So you see there's man who get paid for being slaves 

And men who get paid for being free 

And there's men behind bars who pray for the light 

And men in the suburbs who pray for the night 

And they're all trying to climb to the top of the mine 

And all of them say most of the way 

Screw you 

I worked in the mill from seven till nine 

Tears in my eyes nearly drove me half-blind 

Trying to make wages that weren't even there 

Taking hell from a foreman with the build of a bear 

He said screw you 

This is all you'll ever do 

It's the only existence for someone like you
