KID AGAINST THE WALL

Please share it with the class you can never hope to pass
You’ll never amount to anything or anyone at all
In a world all of your own your chance will soon be blown
You’ll never amount to anything or anyone at all

You’re a man now, act your age
Wake up from that adolescent daze
Get your head down, realise
This is it for the rest of your life
Hey kid, hey kid, your back’s against the wall

If only you spent your time on your books instead of rhyme
You’ll never amount to anything or anyone at all
Better start to make me proud get your head out of the clouds
You’ll never amount to anything or anyone at all

There’s a little place I reside where my time I quietly bide
I dug this black hole for when your lectures take their toll
In this space I can hide there’s only room for one inside
It’s full music, it’s full of art, it’s full of hope and that’s a start

I go there after school
A dark place and a crudely fashioned tool
Digging down, breaking out,
I’m gone and you don’t have a clue
Hey kid, hey kid, your back’s against the wall
