Youth

Welcome to the world of the modern youthWorking for a living is becoming a chore
Painting on my face to masquerade my thoughts
And I know you never listen when I tell you the truth about the education of my modern youth
But I hope
Maybe someday soon we'll get away
To a better placeAnd live the high life
Somewhere in the limelight
Somewhere where it ain't so scummy
And we pay them money
We don't talk highlights
Prospects in the linetime
I'm talking them hard times from 9 to 5[?] Top shop floor
Everybody rockin in a top shop store
Painting on their face to masquerade their thoughts
And you'll know I never listen when you tell me the truth
About the words you say of my modern youth
But I hope
Maybe someday soon we'll get away to a better placeAnd live the high life somewhere In the limelight somewhere where it ain't so scummy
And we pay them money
We don't talk highlights
Prospects and the line time
I'm talking them hard times from 9 to 5So call your friends and they will ignore and there
Is nowt in life they can't do they can repay today
But I'm trying not to ridicule
Cause my conscience lift me will endorse for it allTo live the high life somewhere in the limelight
Somewhere where it ain't so scummy
And we pay them money
We don't talk highlights
Prospects and the line time
I'm talking them hard times from 9 to 5
