25 Years

I went to school and I studied
And I got my G.C.E.
My City and Guilds and my Sky Diary
But it didn't do me no good
They didn't like my looks,
I burnt my books
25 years doesn't matter anymore
I stand around the streets
I lie around the floor
looking at the sky
I watch the world go by

I started out one day
And I worked in a factory
My mind went blank,
I needed a battery
Didn't do me no good
I got the sack,
My work was slack

25 years, 25 years, 25 years?

? Cause 25 years doesn't matter anymore
I stand around the streets
And lie around the floor
Looking at the sky
I watch the world go by
They say there's life up there in the galaxy
The world's in collision
There's people with an allergy
25 years of social reform
Ain? t gonna make me change or make me conform
25 years, 25 years, 25 years,
25 years of social research and

25 years, 25 years, 25 years?
