Sure it`s a gas
(We`re) Stuck in an English class
Can`t even dream
So it`s hard to accept the role you`re given
When you`re sittin` there staring at the ceiling
Wishing you were so very far from here
When you`re 13

What fors and whys
If he`s got it why can`t I
You`re my queen
And I dream about you when I`m in my bed
And if all of these things are like you said
Then I`d rather be in another scene
When I`m 14

Just not fair
I`m not getting anywhere
Oh hard as a stone
They expect us to make it out alone
And they scream at us when we`re on the phone
And they lecture us all about routine
When you`re 15

Get out of here
You`re crowding my tender years
Don`t say you see
Cos you`d forgotten what it`s like to be
And I`m sure that it`s changed to some degree
Christ`s advice ain`t never as it seemed
When you`re 16

Four years go
You`ve fallen before you know
You`re now of age
And you`re thrown in a different cage
And you`re faced with another blank page
And I know I don`t need to be told
