I woke up in the morning I was looking for a sign    I thought I was doing well and everything was fine   But as the hours past and it did not last   The people laughed as they walked on past   They looked at me strange as they walked out of range    I heard their idle threats try to put me to the test   I was up all day and I was up all night    Wondering when things would turn out right   My heart it bleeds for those who cannot see the right from wrong    They can't find a way out though they say they are strong   Contented and confined to a life of misery   Like a blind mans ambition to swim the raging sea   I did my best to beat the rest, to be a man and work it out   But people said I was going mad    That I'd lost all sanity I'd ever had   Was it the drugs or was it the pressure    Could have been life on the never never   Plastic people were all around    Happy with their dreams and the safe pop sound   Don't put me down cos I'm different to you    Don't slag me off and I won't slag you   Beat me up if it pleases you    You are Mr. Nobody I can see through you   You've got your car and you've got your house   You're kids are very happy in the happy happy house   A holiday in Spain you need a break    Dancing in the Discos until the day break   Hit your kids if they step out of line    Send them to school make sure they do fine..
