I remember in my school days
How I didn’t quite fit in
Didn’t get no recognition
Of how things could have been

Stepped back to watch and listen
Not too far but not too near
Watched the hanger’s move on in there
Knew I had nothing left to fear

Found my way and took my own seat
Played a game to suit them all
Didn’t push too hard to be seen
Just hung back
But still stood tall

Didn’t come from any great life
Didn’t find the need to shout
Soon the kids were hangin round me
Tryin to find
What I was about

I saw that in the classroom
I left the guys behind
Didn’t make a big deal about it
Made sure they weren’t maligned

Hung around with all the fly guys
Just to get me through the day
They didn’t know what I was doin
Didn’t see how I could play

Found my way and took my own seat
Played a game to suit them all
Didn’t push too hard to be seen
Just hung back
But still stood tall

Didn’t take no heavy beatings
Watched them all and turned away
Kept the tough kids out of focus
Lived to fight another day

Didn’t come from any great life
But I learnt to find my way
Hangin out with all the fly guys
Who didn’t know I’d come to play

Found my way and took my own seat
Played a game to suit them all
Didn’t push too hard to be seen
Just hung back
But still stood tall

Didn’t take no heavy beatings
Watched them all and turned away
Kept the tough kids out of focus
Lived to fight another day

Yeah, lived to fight another day

I lived to fight another day

Just lived to fight another day……
