Yesterday's child is not in control, not down with the rock, not down with the roll
   Go, go, go on my scrawny white attack, all the kids are right, all the chicks are black
   I want to be a lapsed Catholic, earn my sacred heart, full colour, high tech
   Young at heart, wild inside see the world through Jackson Pollock's eyes
  
   So bring out your dead, cos they'll never know rob them of possessions, and leave them in the snow
   I see people treat people, tall [ ? ], short steeples
  
   Painted on your daddy's arm, wasted in your mummy's car
   You're sixteen and you feel so lonely, signing up for some Commie army
  
   Killed someone at thirteen, endless psychology
   ODd on Sunny D, endless psychology
  
   You think you're hard, you think you're metal, cut your nipple, Red Cross medal
   Out of speed, out of breath, stop now before you think yourself to death
  
   Painted on your daddy's arm, wasted in your mummy's car
   You're sixteen and you feel so lonely, signing up for some Commie army
  
   Killed someone at thirteen, endless psychology
   ODd on Sunny D, endless psychology
  
   Painted on your daddy's arm, wasted in your mummy's car
   You're sixteen and you feel so lonely, signing up for some Commie army
  
   And you've only got yourself to blame, join the gallery, the kids from Shame
   You're sixteen and you feel so lonely, signing up for some Commie army
  
   Killed someone at thirteen, endless psychology
   ODd on Sunny D, endless psychology
  
   Endless psychology, endless psychology
   Endless psychology, endless psychology
