[Verse 1]
A G A G
I saw innocent kids turn cruel, In the playground at school
A G A G
Poor Claudius played the fool, Survival is cool
A G
One for the space to prowl as you please
A G
Two for the pulpit down on your knees
A G A G
We've hanged our hearts to shame And no one's to blame
[Chorus 1]
C Am F G F F/G C Am
Hey, everything was clearer than today

Oh, you have to hold on to your childhood
F G F F/G C Am F
O-o-open your eyes or stay as you are my friend

You have to hang on, hang on, Hang on
[Verse 2]
A G A G
My life is a Milbury's home, On Hereford Way
A G A G
My life is a Barclays' loan now, And a mortgage to pay
A G
Let's drink to freedom and family ties
A G
Here's to the bags that are under my eyes
A G A G
We've opened our eyes to pride, With nothing inside
[Chorus 2]
