Boy In Rags

All your comeback conversation

Guilty trips are wearing thin

Tell me what’s the point in talking

When you know I’m not listening?

And everything you ever said

Went straight to the wind

Is it the land of the lost or the dead I’m living in?

Now boy you see those rags you’re wearing?

Don’t you care what people think?

You’d better buy yourself a new suit

If you want a chance of fitting in

And everything you ever said

Went straight to the wind

Is it the land of the lost or the dead I’m living in?

Surprise surprise! Guess what came to be

The boy who lives in rags is dying

From a lack of self belief

Now you say I need some eating

I’m looking dangerously thin

You can see my bones protruding

You can feel my spine under my skin

And everything you ever said

Went to the wind

Is this the land of the lost or dead I find myself in?

Surprise surprise! Guess what came to be

The boy who lives in rags is dying

From a lack of self belief
