Ex-teenage Rebel Lyrics - Subhumans

When I asked you to lend me a fiver 

You said you were already broke 

And when I explained you were living in chains 

You assumed it was some sort of joke 

You wanted a job and then got one 

And learned jokes about sex, Jews, and blacks 

Got married to help pay the mortgage 

Got wound up when you had to pay tax 

What happened to you with your ideas? 

What happened to all your hopes and fears? 

Ex-Teenage rebel- same old story 

When I asked you what you thought of the arms race 

Asking you who d gonna win? 

You remembered a man on the telly and said 

I agree with him 

You say everything s alright really 

You say that I m just paranoid 

You tell me it s always been the same 

And there s some things I cannot avoid 

So what happened to your old opinions? 

The thoughts that you had for so long? 

That inspired a thousand rebellions 

Against what was and still is so wrong 

You tell me you used to be crazy 

And paranoid like I am now 

You soon realized There was no reason why 

So you gave up and soon settled down
