lyrics

He always wanted to be a success
He only ever said yes
Back then we didn’t see
The man he would later be

At sixteen he worked nine to five
And I think he knew

He was gunna wear a suit and tie till the day he dies
Cheating his way and telling countless lies
He’d do anything to get what he wants
Forever trying to reach the top
He’s got his fancy cars drinking in posh bars
His salaries much bigger than ours
He needs someone to spend it on
He looks around and his friends are gone

For a while everything was good
He’d come out whenever he could
And anyone who didn’t approve
He’d win them over with a pint or two

He seemed to have the balance right
But I think he knew

You can spend your whole life
Trying to make a better life
You can spend all day
Planning for a new day
But everybody knows

He had a wife and a couple of kids
He didn’t realise what he did
He stopped caring about
The only thing in his life that counts
And now he sits in his house alone
He spends all day checking his phone
But it never rings
No it never rings
