Don't ever call me a man |
|
I'll decide for myself to tell you what I am |
|
Don't want to be called a boy know more |
|
Cause boys fill the trenches in imperialist war |
|
Don't ever call me a queen |
|
Victoria and values just ain't the scene |
|
Don't want to be held responsible for you |
|
To blame you for the future and the history too. |
|
We are the Commonwealth boys |
|
South African village Jamaican toys |
|
Born to create but trained to destroy |
|
And I am a Commonwealth boy. |
|
Don't ask if I'm a respectable force |
|
I'm a ineffectual, intellectual of course |
|
You would not up stand a really pretentious fool |
|
I became aware in the care of a waitresses' school |
|
Don't even call me a friend of the post |
|
The fox holes have fallen and the cemeteries closed |
|
And I've been slaving down on charity farm |
|
Living like a socialist with blood on my arm |
|
We are the Commonwealth youths |
|
From Tunder and Turnside were looking for jobs |
|
Born to create but doomed to destroy |
|
I am a Commonwealth boy. |
|
Don't ever call me a man |
|
I'll decide for myself to tell you what I am |
|
Don't want to be called a boy know more |
|
Cause boys fill the trenches in imperialist war |
|
Don't ever call me a queen |
|
Victoria and values just ain't my scene |
|
Don't want to be responsible for you |
|
We blame you for the future and the history too. |
|
Don't ever call me a man |
|
I'll decide when my life ends |
|
I'm a boy I'm a boy don't you tell the fairies |
|
I'm a boy I'm a boy but my mother would not admit it. |
