You paint your leather jacket but it comes off in the rain

And the more you cut your hair the more it grows again

The badges you pin on yourself fall off or start to rust

And the more they take the piss the less people you can trust

[Chorus:]

It's the story of your life

And the end of it's your death

And every word that's in between

Is just a waste of breath



You don't know who you might have been or who you now should be

Or what you ought to write on walls or why you wanna be free

And then you start to panic cos the inspiration's there

But your not sure how to use it anyway and no one seems to care



[Chorus]



You're the classic all-round failure who never seems to win

You'd like to write a book but you're not sure how to begin

It's the story of your life

And the end of it's your death

And every word that's in between is just a waste of breath



[Chorus]
