I remember once as a boy of nine   My sister eating glass   Though she thought it strange for a glucose fruit   She enjoyed the taste it had      Having lived with you over seven years   It's amazing looking back   At the time our parents were of the view   Outside marriage it would never last      Now my parents they were divorced last year   And yours are separating soon   If they'd spent less time picking holes in us   Maybe they might not have been doomed      I remember once, as a child at school   My teacher calling me   And it wasn't "Raymond, step forward please"   It was "O'Sullivan, come here"      Now at school they teach you to be polite   But as far as I am concerned   If the ones who teach you don't know themselves   How on earth are we supposed to learn?      You might remember, just a few years back   Man's first footprints on the moon   Who'd have thought that after such a giant step   It would mean so little, so soon, mean so little, so soon      If you go outside for a breath of air   And you start by breathing in   When you feel it's done you a power of good   It could have done more damage than you'd think      For the air we breath may be all that's ours   But you mustn't be fooled by space   At the rate we're going we'll all be dead   Breathing in our very own waste      It's amazing really, let me explain   The thought of ending up dust   Is a clear reminder to those who feel   They're superior to us, superior to us
