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...
