Clean The Kit |
Soon I’m gonna be a man |
Be a player, not a fan |
'Cos that’s all I ever wanted since my life began |
Gonna be a soccer star |
Maybe drive a fancy car |
Build a mansion in the country for my Ma and Pa |
Gotta clean the kit |
I’m so sick of it |
Each day I have to go to school |
Have to try to keep my cool |
While I study for exams on how to be a fool |
It’s no wonder I’m annoyed |
'Cos the state is overjoyed |
Just to teach a poor boy how to join the unemployed |
I’m so sick of it |
School and cleaning kit |
One day, I won’t have to take it |
'Cause I know I’m gonna make it |
All I need’s a chance |
And I’ll be on my way |
Only fools obey the rules |
Thy worked all day like stupid mules |
I’m busting out of hre |
I’ll do it one fine day |
I ain’t eatin' shit |
Cleaning people’s kit |
(Meanwhile:) |
Alright Thomas? |
Don’t «alright» me, you Proddy git! |
My cousin had the shit kicked out of him |
last week by a bunch of you bowler-hatted bastards! |
Nothing to do with me, mate. |
I’m an atheist and an internationalist: |
I recognize neither God nor country |
Well, you’ll «recognize» a boot in your face if you show yourself around here |
again, mate! |
Now piss off, and never come back! |
But the season’s just starting! |
This is my team! |
This is a Catholic team! |
And you’ve just been suspended — permanently! |
We mean it, Copeland: come around here again, and you’ll regret it! |
You’re not fit to wear a kit |
You bastard orange Proddy git |
We’ll tear it off your back |
And stuff it down your throat |
Take our advice or pay the price |
We certainly won’t warn you twice |
The tide has turned |
And soon we’ll be the ones to gloat |
You’re a sodding Brit |
Wearing Irish kit |
(Back to JOHN, and now MARY:) |
So you’re gonna be a man |
Not a stupid also-ran |
Well, I heard a lot of talk about your master plan |
I don’t think you’ll be a star |
You ain’t gonna go that far |
You’re all talk and sod all action |
You’re all blah blah blah! |
Come to terms with it |
Born to clean the kit |
Your life’s a farce |
Get off your arse |
Take my advice |
Get back in class |
Or hang around |
And moan and groan your life away |
'Cos every hunk |
Ends up a drunk |
Just killing time |
His prospects sunk |
Still claiming that he’s gonna bust out one fine day |
If the cap’ll fit |
You’ll be wearing it |
Stuck here cleaning kit |
Have no fear |
The time is near |
This boy is busting out of here |
I’ll be burning brightly |
Once the flame is lit |
I’ll make my mark |
Light up the dark |
Explosions start with just one spark |
And then another lad |
Will have to clean my kit! |
I’m so sick of it |
School and cleaning kit |
You’re so full of it! |
But one day |
I’m |
Not gonna take it! |
