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
