Lyrics:

Hello how you doing?

We're the young educated boys and girls of the first world

Hold the future round our necks,

Like a diamond necklace that is quite expensive

Remember when the bombs still fell?

Well the old people do, even if they don't tell

And the bombs could fall again as well

On the young educated boys and girls of the first world

Make your, make your mark now

Make a living out of living and be home before dark

My savior is a flicker and a spark

For one day the young educated boys and girls

Of the first world will have to master

Young bloods never see

The mud in the water

The red on the greens of our garden

Where have you been?

I've been to England to visit the Queen

But the places where the city has been

There was no, nothing there just a pile of old beans

And the situation was Star Wars 3

And all of the countries sank in the sea

And the whole world was a forgotten old dream

And the statues of the profits were looking at me

Singing "you are the young educated boys and girls of the first world

And you didn't try to change a thing"

There's always something deeper

There's always something deeper

There's always something deeper

There's always something deeper...
