Zounds - Did He Jump Lyrics
Who was that on the window ledge?Did he jump or was he pushed?He left a note which no one readIn desperate hand the note just said,"Never turn my back on societySociety turn is back on me.Never tried once to drop out,I just couldn't get in from the start."The children all played clever gamesThe grown-ups gave them clever namesTurned them all from very youngOn to the drug competitionFeed them T.V. everydayTeach them just how they should playFor the ones that start to strayCut them off till they obeyOur little friend was not the typeTo want to have to stand and fightBully boys all could pickUpon the lonely little kidThe grown ups all looked hard and longSaid "He's got two feet he can stand on"We never like the sickly onesThe boisterous ones are much more funHe found it hard to socializeCause when he laughed or want he criedIn the wrong place he'd be chastisedAn idiot to be despisedNever learnt to play the game the wayThat your supposed to playNever learnt the things to sayOr lock emotion safe awayWho was that on the window ledge?Did he jump or was he pushed?He left a note which no one readIn desperate hand the note just said:"Never turn my back on societySociety turn is back on me.All the world can not be wrongIt must be me I don't belong.""All the world can not be wrongIt must be me I don't belong""All the world can not be wrongIt must be me I don't belong""All the world can not be wrongIt must be me I don't belong""All the world can not be wrongIt must be me I don't belong"The unfree child is full of woeInto the unfree adult he will growHave unfree children of is ownOn and on and so it goesTake your hands from off your genitalsEat those greens and grow up strongDon't piss yourself it's very naughtyStephen, Stephen don't you shineDon't speak now we are talkingNot a word less you disgraceThere's people listeningDon't embarrass usAnd never let us catch you masturbateWhen I was a baby my mummy told meIf I was a bad boy daddy would scold meWhen I was a baby my mummy lecturedIf I was a good boy I would be rewardedMummy, daddy, what more would you expectedIn your eyes I'm not to be respectedTake you on but I'm just one reflectionOf the values that you hold and the way you see themMy mummy's goneTo a place where I can't goA place that's cloaked in thy mysteryOf corporate identitySupermarkets and three pike suitsMy mummy's goneMy mummy's goneWhen I was a little girl my mummy told meHad to make an effort to make myself prettyGot to get a husband, got to have a babyGot to be a credit to the rest of the familyMummy, daddy, what more would you expectedIn your eyes I'm not to be respectedTake you on but I'm just one reflectionOf the values that you hold and the way you see themMy mummy's goneTo a place where I can't goA place that's cloaked in thy mysteryOf corporate identitySupermarkets and three pike suitsMy mummy's goneMy mummy's goneNow that I'm older, I know that you scared meBut I don't hold it against you, though it damage me sorleyI know you're a victim just just like meYou can feel the pressure just just like meMummy, daddy, what more would you expectedIn your eyes I'm not to be respectedTake you on but I'm just one reflectionOf the values that you hold and the way you see themMy mummy's goneTo a place where I can't goA place that's cloaked in thy mysteryOf corporate identitySupermarkets and three pike suitsMy mummy's goneMy mummy's gone
