Once it was just innocence
  Brash ideas and insolence
  But you will never get away
  With the things you say today
  
  But you can try if you want
  
  Dont' you get embarrassed when you read the precious things you said
  Many many years ago when life appeared rosy red
  No one ever shared your bed
  Nothing ever filled your head
  Except yourself and little Ted
  And scary dreams that you were dead.
  Don't you want to hide your face
  When going through your teenage books
  And read the kind of crap you wrote
  About "Ban the Bomb" and city crooks
  Think about how long it took
  To get over that sudden "Yuk"
  When in the mirror you would look
  Well now my son you're well in stook
  
  Cry if you want
  Cry if you want
  
  Didn't you writh in anger when you saw the man in his big car
  Didn't you drive a banger and a gallon didn't get you far
  Should have been a famous star
  But that ain't what you really are
  You could shout your last harrah
  While they are propping up the bar
  Maybe things were better then
  Before you led a promised life
  Rash commitements and heavy raps and left wing spiel all compromised
  You fall in love with other's wives
  Drive 'em nuts with empty lies
  Angry 'cos you lost the prize
  Forgot the color of their eyes.
  
  Cry if you want
  Cry if you wnat
  
  Let your tears flow
  Let your past go
  
  Don't you get embarrassed when you think about the way you were
  Yesterday the day before when you were young with much to learn
  Aren't you glad it's your last term
  No more acting lowly worm
  You can make the suckers squirm
  When you tell them how much you earn
  Don't you feel ashamed at all the bitterness you keep inside
  Does your ego save your face "I had a go - I really tried"
  Now you know your leaders lied
  Does it stop you acting snide
  Or are you still a boy that cried
  Tears now surely long since dried.
  
  Cry if you want
  Cry if you want
