Once it was just innocence Brash ideas and
insolence But you will never get away With the
things you say today But you can try if you
want Dont' you get embarrassed when you read
the precious things you said Many many years ago
when life appeared rosy red No one ever shared
your bed Nothing ever filled your head Except
yourself and little Ted And scary dreams that
you were dead. Don't you want to hide your face
When going through your teenage books And read
the kind of crap you wrote About "Ban the Bomb"
and city crooks Think about how long it took To
get over that sudden "Yuk" When in the mirror you
would look Well now my son you're well in stook
Cry if you want Cry if you want Di 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
harrah While they are propping up the bar Maybe
things were better then Before you led a promised
life Rash commitements and heavy raps and left
wing spiel all compromised You fall in love with
other's wives Drive 'em nuts with empty lies
Angry 'cos you lost the prize Forgot the color
of their eyes. Cry if you want Cry if you
wnat Let your tears flow 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 them how much you earn Don't you feel
ashamed at all the bitterness you keep 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.
Cry if you want Cry if you want
