back in december

in the summer

no-one remembers

how cold it was

back in december

back in your hometown

it's hard to imagine

walking around

in a similar fashion

i know 'cos i've seen it

i know 'cos i feel it

yes i know 'cos i've been it

and nobody can tell me i'm wrong

in the playgrounds

dream of the future

making your own money

doing whatever suits you

suddenly you're older

and so reminiscent

of playing soldiers

and the girls you were kissing

i know 'cos i've seen it

i know 'cos i feel it

yes i know 'cos i've been it

and nobody can tell me i'm wrong

and nobody can tell me i'm wrong

yes i know 'cos i've seen it

i know 'cos i feel it

yes i know 'cos i've been it

and nobody can tell me i'm wrong

look back into the world

don't forget the world

step into the world

in the shadows

this generation

all looked up to winners

and their low expectations

in the city

or out in the rat race

nothing in their pockets

but a smile on their faces

i know 'cos i've seen it

i know 'cos i feel it

yes i know 'cos i've been it

and nobody can tell me i'm wrong

'cos i've seen it

i know 'cos i feel it

yes i know 'cos i've been it

and nobody can tell me i'm wrong

and nobody can tell me i'm wrong
