Boys like you were born to waste,
You never listen to a word I say And if you think you're here to mess around, You're making a big mistake, 'Cos you're gonna find out the hard way, You gonna find out the hard way. No matter what I do or say, You're much too dumb to educate. One day life's going to turn around and slap you in the face, Then you're gonna find out the hard way. You'll take the hard way, Gonna take the hard way. Well, you'll do it your way and I'll do it my way, And we'll see who's the one to survive. You'll find that with no foundation Or qualifications There's no way that you can get by, No, there's no way you can get by. Why don't you take the easy way? Why don't you co-operate? Don't just sit there and vegetate. Do you want to end up illiterate? You think that life's a vacation And you've no inclination To dust away the cobwebs of your mind. Now it's time for confrontation And I'm tired of being patient, So I've got to be cruel to be kind. You've got to be cruel to be kind. I'm wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat When you're only fit to sweep the streets. Your intellect is such That it requires a killer's touch. So I'm going to play it your way, We'll take the hard way. Going to take the hard way, You can take the hard way. Gonna take the hard way, Gonna take the hard way. |

Well, lived my life and never stopped to worry 'bout a thing
Opened up and shouted out and never tried to sing Wondering if I'd done wrong Will this depression last for long? Won't you tell me Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone? Well, once we had an easy ride and always felt the same Time was on our side and I had everything to gain Let it be like yesterday Please let me have happy days Won't you tell me Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone? Ma and Pa look back at all the things they used to do Didn't have no money and they always told the truth Daddy didn't have no toys And mummy didn't need no boys Won't you tell me Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone? Well, yesterday was such an easy game for you to play But let's face it things are so much easier today Guess you need some bringing down And get your feet back on the ground Won't you tell me Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone? Where have all the good times gone? |

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola C-O-L-A, Cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola L-O-L-A, Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man, oh my Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, we drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee And said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?" Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes, well I almost fell for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola I pushed her away I walked to the door I fell to the floor I got down on my knees Then I looked at her and she at me Well, that's the way that I want it to stay And I always want it to be that way for my Lola La-la-la-la Lola Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola La-la-la-la Lola Well, I left home just a week before And I'd never ever kissed a woman before But Lola smiled and took me by the hand And said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man" Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man And so is Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola Lola La-la-la-la Lola La-la-la-la Lola |

This is the age of machinery,
A mechanical nightmare, The wonderful world of technology, Napalm hydrogen bombs biological warfare, This is the twentieth century, But too much aggravation It's the age of insanity, What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem. Ain't got no ambition, I'm just disillusioned I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here. My mama said she can't understand me She can't see my motivation Just give me some security, I'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century. You keep all your smart modern writers Give me William Shakespeare You keep all your smart modern painters I'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough, Girl we gotta get out of here We gotta find a solution I'm a twentieth century man but I don't want to die here. I was born in a welfare state Ruled by bureaucracy Controlled by civil servants And people dressed in grey Got no privacy got no liberty Cos the twentieth century people Took it all away from me. Don't wanna get myself shot down By some trigger happy policeman, Gotta keep a hold on my sanity I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here. My mama says she can't understand me She can't see my motivation Ain't got no security, I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here. This is the twentieth century But too much aggravation This is the edge of insanity I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna be here |

You've been sleeping in a field
But you look real rested You set out to outrage But you can't get arrested You say your image is new But it looks well tested You're lost without a crowd Yet you go your own way You say your summer has gone Now the winter is crawling in They say that even in your day Somehow you never could quite fit in Though it's cold outside I know the summer's gonna come again Because you know what they say Every dog has his day You're a misfit Afraid of yourself, so you run away and hide You've been a misfit all your life Why don't you join the crowd and come inside You wander 'round this town Like you've lost your way You had your chance in your day Yet you threw it all away But you know what they say Every dog has his day Look at all the losers and the mad-eyed gazers Look at all the loonies and the sad-eyed failures They've giving up living 'cause they just don't care So take a good look around, the misfits are everywhere This is your chance This is your time So don't throw it away You can have your day 'Cause it's true what they say Every dog has his day You're a misfit Afraid of yourself so you run away and hide You've been a misfit all your life But why don't you join the crowd and come inside You wander 'round this town Like you've lost your way You had your chance in your day Yet you threw it all away Now you're lost in the crowd Yet still go your own way |

Cheap is small and not too steep
But best of all cheap is cheap Circumstance has forced my hand To be a cut price person in a low budget land Times are hard but we'll all survive I just got to learn to economize I'm on a low budget I'm on a low budget I'm not cheap, you understand I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land Excuse my shoes they don't quite fit They're a special offer and they hurt me a bit Even my trousers are giving me pain They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn't complain They squeeze me so tight so I can't take no more They're size 28 but I take 34 I'm on a low budget What did you say I'm on a low budget I thought you said that I'm on a low budget I'm a cut price person in a low budget land I'm shopping at Woolworth and low discount stores I'm dropping my standards so that I can buy more (Quality costs, but quality wastes, So I'm giving up all of my expensive tastes. Caviar and champagne are definite no's, I'm acquiring a taste for brown ale and cod roes ) Low budget sure keeps me on my toes I count every penny and I watch where it goes We're all on our uppers we're all going skint I used to smoke cigars but now I suck polo mints I'm on a low budget What did you say Yea I'm on a low budget I thought you said that I'm on a low budget I'm a cut price person in a low budget land I'm on a low budget Low budget Low budget Art takes time, time is money Money's scarce and that ain't funny Millionaires are things of the past We're in a low budget film where nothing can last Money's rare there's none to be found So don't think I'm tight if I don't buy a round I'm on a low budget What did you say Yes I'm on a low budget I thought you said that I'm on a low budget I'm a cut price person in a low budget land I'm on a low budget Say it again Low budget One more time Low budget (I look like a tramp, but don't write me off, I'll have you all know, I was once a toff At least my hair is all mine, my teeth are my own, But everything else is on permanent loan. Once all my clothes were made by hand, Now I'm a cut price person in a low budget land. I'm on a low budget I'll have you all know We're on a low budget I'm on a low budget) |

You go down the pub
You wear make up And old dads trousers Why don't you tidy up You talk like a docker but you act like a queer You drink champagne then complain it's too dear You try so hard not to follow any trends Then you cry in your beer and say you've got no friends But is it any wonder that you've got no friends But it's not the make up Or the way you dress It's not your appearance, that they all detest It's not your manners, that you gotta improve ooooo--it's your attitude. Chorus Attitude, Oo Oo Oo Your attitude Attitude, Oo Oo Oo Your attitude Take off your head phones Hear what's going on You can't live in a time zone You've gotta move on But before you get there There's one thing you've gotta do Oh change your attitude It's your attitude It's your attitude Chorus Attitude, Oo Oo Oo Your attitude Attitude, Oo Oo Oo Your attitude The '80s are here, I know cuz I'm staring right at them But you're still waiting for 1960 to happen You might have the illness, but you've got the cure You've got the answer, you will endure You're the only person that's gonna pull you through Ooh, with your attitude Chorus Attitude, Oo Oo Oo Your attitude Attitude, Oo Oo Oo Your attitude You gotta learn to be positive, it's your only chance You mustn't be so defensive, you gotta join in the dance But it isn't your dancing that you've gotta improve Ooh, it's your attitude. Chorus Attitude, Oo Oo Oo Your attitude Attitude, Oo Oo Oo Your attitude It's all the music It's all in your brain You've used all the old licks Now it's all gotta change. Change your attitude It's your attitude Attitude |
