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

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

If you look the part 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

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

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 a future for the Chosen Few

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

At twenty one you're on top of the scrapheap
At sixteen you were top of the class
All they taught you at school
Was how to be a good worker
The system has failed you, don't fail yourself

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


Mirror lyrics:

Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're better than me

The system has failed you, don't fail yourself
Was how to be a good worker
All they taught you at school
At sixteen you were top of the class
At twenty one you're on top of the scrapheap

Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're better than me

There's only a future for the Chosen Few
But I've come to see in the Land of the Free
I don't know what I'm going to do
The factories are closing and the army's full

Doesn't mean I'm a communist
Just because I dress like this
Doesn't mean I'm lazy...
Just because you're better than me

They can afford to pick and choose
The truth is son, it's a buyer's market
In last year's trousers and your old school shoes
If you look the part you'll get the job

Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean I'm lazy...
Just because you're better than me

Are now just pieces of paper
Qualifications once the Golden Rule
Mother says there'll be no work next year
Up in the morning and out to school
