lyrics

The boy will never see
poverty
said Mum and Dad
we're gonna give him
all the things
that we had

he's gonna know
the same faces
the same food
the same old places
that we know
all the worry
will go away

the public schoolboy way

he's gonna get
to where he is
but not on talent
although he can
but it takes time
restore the balance

he'll think the world's
peopled by minions
and it turns
on his opinions
yesterday
tomorrow and today

the public schoolboy way
he's much too delicate for real life

so as you rule
as the next step
on your adventure
stop a while
to reflect
if this is nature

there's something wrong
inside your eyes
step outside
learn your size
and it won't matter
when they say
what they say

the public schoolboy way
