newtown neurotics - wake up (live at brunel university 1986) lyrics

Loading...

it all begins at school
when they tell you you’re useless
and the jobs you get offered
makes the matter conclusive
for years and years, they’ve been telling you lies
your full potential’s never been realised
and then you slip into the attitude of
“i make a mess of everything i try to do”

chorus:
don’t sit around; you’ve got to wake up and live
don’t p+ss around; you’ve got to wake up and live

you religiously say oh, it’s not worth trying
but christ almighty, do you need enlightening!
i’m not talking about a type of career
i’m talking about just enjoying being here
make the most of your life every day
and every opportunity that comes your way

chorus:
don’t sit around; you’ve got to wake up and live
don’t p+ss around; you’ve got to wake up and live

they’ve got you exactly where they want you to be
shackled in feelings of in+a+a+adequacy
it’s no fun to hide your feelings inside
feelings you can’t understand or describe
it affects everything that you do
apathy is slowly k!lling you
chorus:
don’t sit around; you’ve got to wake up and live
don’t p+ss around; you’ve got to wake up and live

what have you done?+yes i’m talking to you
what have you achieved?
does this question disquieten you
like it still does me, like it still does me
you don’t own an ounce of self+respect
you don’t own an ounce of self+respect
so you’re treated like no+one
what did you really expect?
what did you really expect?
what did you really expect?
what did you really expect?
what did you really expect?
