lyrics

wish my pa had told me:
“Son, your time will come soon
They’ll be scrubbing factory floors,
you’ll go to the moon
You’re wonderful, a precious kind:
the prettiest thing I’ve seen
Those dumb kids are more scared
than you’ll ever be”

“So they may have girlfriends
and fancy bikes to mend,
but you’ve got brains
You’ll get away”

“Just don’t let them screw you around
Don’t let them screw you around”

I wish my pa had told me,
but if memory serves me right
(which it hardly ever does
I think I know why)

With their scared girlfriends,
they looked so confident
None of his talk
could’ve stopped my fall

“Don’t let them screw you around
Don’t let them screw you around”

Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
My glasses, my high grades, my shirts?
Indefensable me?
What was pushing them on?
Who was leading them on?
It’s hard to be decent
When no-one can spell
The word “decency”

“Don’t let them screw you around
Don’t let them screw you around”
