| When | going through your teenage looks |
| D | |
| Read the kind of crap you wrote |
| Dsus4/C | |
| About | ban the bomb and city crooks |

| Think about how long it took |
| Dsus4/C | |
| To | get over that sudden yuk |

| Cry if you want |
| D | |
| Cry if you want |
| Didn't you writhe in anger when you saw the man in his big car |
| Didn't you drive a banger and a gallon didn't get you far |
| Should have been a famous star |
| But that ain't what you really are |
| You could shout your last hurrah |
| While they are propping up the bar |
| Maybe things were better then |
| Before you led a promised life |
| Rash commitments heavy raps |
| And left-wing spiel all compromised |
| You fall in love with other's wives |
| Drive 'em nuts with empty lies |
| Angry 'cause you lost the prize |
| Forgot the color of their eyes |

| Let your | tears flow |
| A7 | A7sus4 | |
| Let your | past go |
| Don't you get embarrassed when you think about the way you were |
| Yesterday the day before when you were young with much to learn |
| Aren't you glad it's your last term |
| No more acting lowly worm |
| You can make the suckers squirm |
| When you tell 'em how much you earn |
| Don't you feel ashamed at all the bitterness you feel inside |
| Does your ego save your face |
| I had a go, I really tried |
| Now you know your leaders lied |
| Does it stop you acting snide or are you still a boy that cried |
| Tears now surely long since dried |
| repeat cborus |
