25 Years Lyrics - 25 Years On - The Hawklords

I went to school and I studied 

And I got my G.C.E. 

My City and Guilds and my Sky Diary 

But it didn't do me no good 

They didn't like my looks 

I burnt my books 

Twenty five years doesn't matter anymore 

I stand around the streets 

I lie around the floor 

looking at the sky 

I watch the world go by 

I started out one day 

And I worked in a factory 

My mind went blank 

I needed a battery 

Didn't do me no good 

I got the sack 

My work was slack 

Twenty five years, twenty five years, twenty five years? 

'Cause twenty five years doesn't matter anymore 

I stand around the streets 

And lie around the floor 

Looking at the sky 

I watch the world go by 

They say there's life up there in the galaxy 

The world's in collision 

There's people with an allergy 

Twenty five years of social reform 

Ain't gonna make me change or make me conform 

Twenty five years, twenty five years, twenty five years 

Twenty five years of social research and 

Twenty five years, twenty five years, twenty five years?
