Dreams
of you getting to the top will get you nowhere
You shout and you scream
but your barks no bigger than your big toe
But when you've had it all given as a small boy
The shock of the world gets your fingers
Burned by the wire
I
don't believe in anybody's dreams now
There's too many casualties passing by my window
Top Boy, Prefect, Chief Scout where does it get you now 'Cause the shock
of the world gets your fingers
Burned by the wire
Burned
by the wire, your looking tired
A beaten face with no desire
Got to get yourself up, got to get yourself out
No self-respecting man
would be seen so down trodden
'Cause
the dreams of you getting to the top
Got you nowhere
Your washed up baby hung and dried and slaughtered
And now you've had it all taken by the big boys
Cause the shock of the world gets your fingers
Burned by the wire
