My teacher doesn't stand a chance
And all I can think about is my schoolyard romance
He says look at the next generation
What a state
I wouldn't laugh if I where you mate
Silence makes the darkest sound
Down the gangway for some one on one
She un-squared me with her cola-bottle tongue
She's one of those who has an open mind
Knows it all anyways so i'm just wasting time
Silence makes the darkest sound
It's better when you're around
You know me inside out
You know when to sit me down
And sort me out
Growing up true
Is hard to do
Growing up true
Is hard to do
When I go to sleep at night
I wake up blind because my dreams are so bright
Can't wait to die
Come back as something else
Knowing my luck I'll come back as myself
Coz money makes the world go down
Me and my friends are bored
Looking at things we can't afford
Got no food
But we haven't got the blues
If we wanna get depressed
We could always eat the news
Coz money makes the world go down
It's better when you're around
You know me inside out
You know when to sit me down
And sort me out
Growing up true is hard to do
Growing up true is hard to do
Growing up true is hard to do
Growing up true is hard to do
It all adds up to zero
And counts for nothing now
It all adds up to zero
When your not around
