Birth, School, Work, Death

Been turned around till I'm upside down

Been all at sea until I've drowned

And I've felt torture, I've felt pain

Just like that film with Michael Caine

I've been abused and I've been confused

And I've kissed Margaret Thatcher's shoes

And I been high and I been low

And I don't know where to go

Birth, school, work, death

Birth, school, work, death

And heroin was the love you gave

From the cradle to the grave

Boys and girls don't understand

The devil makes work for idle hands

I cut myself but I don't bleed

'Cause I don't get what I need

Doesn't matter what I say

Tomorrow's still another day

Birth, school, work, death

Birth, school, work, death

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Yeah, I've been high and I've been low

And I don't know where to go

I'm livin' on the never, never, never

This time it's gonna be forever

I'll live and die, don't ask me why

I wanna go to paradise

And I don't need your sympathy

There's nothin' in this world for me

Birth, school, work, death

Birth, school, work, death

Birth, school, work, death

Birth, school, work, death

Birth, school, work, death

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Birth, school, work, death

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
