25 Years - Hawkwind

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

25 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

25 years, 25 years, 25 years…

'Cause 25 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

25 years of social reform

Ain’t gonna make me change or make me conform

25 years, 25 years, 25 years

25 years of social research and

25 years, 25 years, 25 years…
