Lyrics

Worked so hard to get your credentials
So young, so hip, so experimental
But you'll play the game in the end
So young, so hip, so perfectly able
You got a major talent
For making foolish things seem perfectly balanced
You've got the right idea
The world's full of suckers
So won't you come along..

Your head is a rock and it's doing in mine
If there's somebody in there
Just leave me a sign?
No, no, your head is a rock

So young, so hip, so experimental
Worked so hard to get influential
But you play the game
You just the same
And the time keeps on tickin'
You've developed a habit
Fro making foolish things
Seem perfectly balanced
And you don't even know yourself
You're the fool

Behind that perfect smile
The hunger won't subside
The jaws stay open wide
Don't play me, you're not so young, so hip

We shall not cop out
