All I see are fat sad children Being told to clear their plates Or their fate could be that of ‘the Africans’ But they should be out, playing with their mates “Would you like some extra guilt with that. We had nothing to eat during the wars!” Into their supple skull it bores Pick pick pick, expose all your flaws All unseen behind cheap, plastic doors U.P.V.C off-white front doors All I see are anxious kids Worried why their parents split Was it something they said or something they did Wearing clothes that no longer fit “Sometimes people just fall out of love, And your dad’s a pain in the neck!” Said whilst waiting for his maintenance check They carry on with their chores All unseen behind cheap, plastic doors U.P.V.C off-white front doors And in your life starved room Pretty lights reflect in your eyes There are no whats, whens and whys As pretty lights reflect in your eyes All I see are scared young teens No receipt, damaged goods With not much to do, it seems Hanging around the streets in hoods “In a moment, he’d stick you with a knife he would, Ohhh, Yes I’m sure!” The opinions of the tabloid whores Therefore, all that they think is yours All unseen behind cheap, plastic doors U.P.V.C off-white front doors All I see is buildings burning Flames whipping up to the sky Anger in the eyes of a young man’s yearning How long will this last and why? I’ll tell you now but you won’t want to hear it Forgotten, dismissed, pushed aside, ignored All the decent folk were nowhere near it Away from all of the fangs and the claws All unseen behind cheap, plastic doors U.P.V.C off- white front doors And in your life starved room Pretty lights reflect in your eyes There are no whats, whens and whys As pretty lights reflect in your eyes And with some buttons pressed Pretty lights reflect in your eyes Away from the grown-ups lies Pretty lights reflect in your eyes
