Verse 1

Question-time that says

I brought dishonor

My head's bowed in shame

It seems that

I've blackened the family name

Mother says that

she can't stand the neighbors' talking

I've gotta pack my bags

leave this home

start walking, yeah

I'm guilty

I wish that I was sorry this time

I wish that I could pay for my crime

Chorus

I can't help thinking about me

I can't help thinking about me

I can't help thinking about me

Verse 2

Remember when we used to go

to church on Sundays

I lay awake at night,

terrified of school

on Mondays

Oh, but it's too late now

I wish I was a child again

I wish I felt secure again

Chorus

Bridge

As I pass a recreation ground

I remember my friends,

always been found

and I can't...

Chorus

Verse 3

Now I leave them all

in the never-never land

The station seems so cold,

the ticket's in my hand

My girl calls my name

"Hi, Dave.

Drop in, see you around, come back

If you're this way again."

Oh, I'm on my own

I've got a long way to go

I hope I make it on my own

Chorus
