[Verse 1] Oh what‘d you come here for
With your sad look eyes and a surplus coat
Is it a childish dream?
Well you can always hope
But you try and you fail
And you can't and you don't
And you ain't and you won't
And you won't

[Verse 2] Oh seventeen
You got it all laid out
You got that upward motion
You got the dance moves down
By twenty-five
You're sinking underground
'Cos you try and you fail
And you can't and you don't
And you ain't and you won't
And you won't

[Verse 3] Oh what‘d you come here for
With your sad look eyes and a surplus coat
Is it a childish dream?
Well you can always hope
But you try and you fail
And you can't and you don't
And you ain't and you won't
And you won't
