[Verse 1]
Up in the morning and out to school
Mother says there be no work next year
Qualifications once the Golden Rule
Are now just pieces of paper
[Chorus]
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because I dress like this
Doesn't mean I'm a Communist
[Verse 3]
Well the factories are closing and the army's full
I don't know what I'm going to do
But I've come to see in the land of the free
There's only room for a chosen few
Up in the morning and out to school
Mother says there be no work next year
Qualifications once the Golden Rule
Are now just pieces of paper
[Chorus]
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because I dress like this
Doesn't mean I'm a Communist
[Verse 3]
Well the factories are closing and the army's full
I don't know what I'm going to do
But I've come to see in the land of the free
There's only room for a chosen few
