Childhood

I saw innocent kids turn cruel In the playground at school Poor Claudius played the fool Survival is cool One for the space To prowl as you please Two for the pulpit Down on your knees We've opened out hearts to shame No-one's to blame Hey! Everything was clearer than today You have to hang on to your childhood Open your eyes Or stay as you are my friend You have to hang on Hang on My life is a Milbury's home On Hereford Way My life is a Barclays' loan now, And a mortgage to pay Let's drink to freedom And family ties Here's to the bags That are under my eyes We've opened our eyes to pride But there's nothing inside Hey! Everything was clearer than today You have to hang on to your childhood Open your eyes Or stay as you are my friend You have to hang on Hang on How have you been I hope you go far Together we'll stand And prop up the bar I'm watching you now Cleaning your car Open your eyes Or stay as you are Just a little more heart now Just a little bit Hang on --- Childhood - The Chameleons UK
