Yesterday's child is not in control Not down with the rock, not down with the roll Go, go, go on my scrawny white attack All the kids are right, all the chicks are black I want to be lapsed Catholic Earn my sacred heart, full colour, high tech Jung at heart, Wilde inside See the world through Jackson Pollock's eyes

Painted on your daddy's arm Wasted in your mummy's car You're sixteen and you feel so lonely Signing up for some Commie army

Painted on your daddy's arm Wasted in your mummy's car You're sixteen and you feel so lonely Signing up for some Commie army
