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

(Aaaah) You know

You know where you went wrong

You know where you went wrong

(Aaaah) 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

(Aaaah) You know

You know where you went wrong

You know where you went wrong

(Aaaah) You know


This is the history of the world

Of every boy and every girl

Who don't understand what's going on anymore

The history of the world

Of every boy and every girl

Who don't understand what's going on anymore 

(What's going on?)


Two girls have 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

(Aaaah) You know

You know where you went wrong

You know where you went wrong

(Aaaah) You know


This is the history of the world (of the world)

Of every boy and every girl

Who don't (who don't) understand (understand)

what's going on anymore (what's going on?)

The history of the world (Ooooh)

Of every boy and every girl (Every boy and girl)

Who don't (who don't) understand (understand)

what's going on anymore (what's going on?)


You know where you went wrong

You know where you went wrong

(Aaaah) You know

You know where you went wrong

You know where you went wrong

(Aaaah) You know


(Aaaah)


You know where you went wrong

You know where you went wrong

(Aaaah) You know
