FATHERS DAY

"You've got to have it all" he said
"You think you're ten feet tall" he said
And I'm thinking "There's nothing wrong with that"
"You think you're really cool" he said
"You're nothing but a fool" he said
And I'm thinking "You're nothing bit a twat"

"You want a motorbike" he said
"You'll have to wait until i'm dead" he said
I though "Brilliant I'll go and order now"
"You think 'cause I've no job" he said
"That it puts you streets ahead" he said
I thought "When I was ten I was streets ahead of you"

"You always put me down" I said
"You're nothing but a clown" I said
"You're a waster, now what do you think of that"
"You're sixty five years old " I said
"You've never held a job I said"
"You're nothing but a pathetic little fart"

"Why don't you go and work" I said
"Instead of spending days in bed" I said
"You're a chancer who's sponged his way through life"
"Go out and pay your way" I said
"Earn a descent wage" I said
"And then you'll have the right to stay in bed"

"I can't get a decent job" he said
"Would you like to see me crawl" he said
I said "I've seen it done by better men than you"
"Don't you want to earn a wage" I said
"Put you're mark upon life's page" I said
He said "You'd like to see me sweeping wouldn't you"

"You say I'm ten feet tall" I said
"And I want to have it all" you said
Well I've earned it but I don't know about you
"You're just a stupid boy" he said
"You know that I get by" he said
I said "Do you think the dole is there for you"

"Well I'm going to tell you this " I said
"I earn my daily bread" I said
"And I'd kill myself before I'd have your shame"
"And while we're on a roll" I said
"You've never kicked a ball" I said
"So don't you ever tell me how to play life's game"

FINAL DAY

It's quite hard to keep on living
When you feel that there's no heaven
And you feel that even god has let you down
Even when you feel like screaming
I don't think that it's blaspheaming
If you remrmber, even Gods son felt let down

That doesn't mean there's no salvation
For each person or each nation
It isn't Gods fault that the world is in despair
It's up to every person
To shape their situation
Into something that will help them get ahead

God isn't up in heaven
He's in every living person
I know clergymen who'd say I'm of my head
But I know these men are wrong
And their faith is not that strong
Because inside the holy men are dead

The church is full of men
Who cannot see heaven or hell
The only reason that they preach is for a wage
They close their eyes to pain
And the folk who search in vain
Because all these weary priests have lost their way

It's up to everyone to help the father and the son
By putting on the armour of the lord
If we don't do a thing the dark will surely win
And we may as well give up the fight right now
I know It's armaggedon and the fight is here to stay
I think I'ts mental and not a physical affray

I think that hearts and minds will fight
One side dark the other light
While the clergy wait for horsemen from the sky
And while they grow old and die
The battle rages on inside
The new Jerusalem is a clean and holy mind
