Two men on the street
Drinking something cheap
No home, no family
It's cold, nowhere to sleep
Passers-by never catch their eye anywhere
One man drinks, the other swears
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong, you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong, you know
The old man can't understand
No one will shake his hand
I gave security, bombs and colour TV
It cost a few lives, someone's son always dies
No one shakes his hand, he don't understand
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong, you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong, you know
This is the history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who don't understand what's going on any more
The history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who don't understand what's going on any more
Two girls with a photograph
One looks, the other laughs
He could have been mine
Why did I change my mind?
Then hands on hips
The other girl says admit, admit
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong, you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong, you know
This is the history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who don't understand what's going on any more
The history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who don't understand what's going on any more
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong, you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong, you know
