[Verse 1]
Up in the morning and out to school
Mother says there'll be no work next year
Qualifications once the golden rule
Are now just pieces of paper
[Verse 2]
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're goin' forwards
Doesn't mean I'm goin' backwards
[Verse 3]
Well, if you look the part, well, then you'll get the job
In last year's trousers and your old school shoes
The truth is, son, it's a buyer's market
They can afford to pick and choose
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Well, the factories are closin' and the army's full
I don't know what I'm goin' to do
But I've come to see in the land of the free
There's only room for a chosen few
[Verse 6]
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're goin' forwards
Doesn't mean I'm goin' backwards
[Verse 7]
Well, at 21 you are 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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Yeah
