Second Nature

                                  I use to think that I was lonely

When I was a young boy

Doing what they told me

(Living rather coldly)

Too many lessons in the school class

Stated my allegiance

Mixing with the wrong class

I lived at home with all my family

Even had my own key

It was given to me

(Parents listened to me)

Allowed to be alone

(Then left me alone)

There was never any friction

Starring in my own film

(A starring role in my film)

It was my addiction

(It was science fiction)

You don't have to wait

The world will carry on

It's there in your face

But it won't stay for long

Let's be a nation

And sit upon a throne

Don't ever hesitate

Just carry on

The older boys were rather surly

Living in the wrong place

Made me grow up early

But it was my home

As I complete my own existence

Staring at my own life

(I look at the old one)

Fading in the distance

Down a semitone

Smiling faces of the neighbors

Proud of their endeavors

Unemployed forever watch TV at home

You don't have to wait

The world will carry on

It's there in your face

But it won't stay for long

Let's be a nation

And sit upon a throne

Don't ever hesitate

Just carry on
