I don't matter you don't matter
|
Neither does this mindless clatter
|
It don't matter where you're from
|
What matters is your uniform
|
|
Wear your braces round your seat
|
Doctor Martens on your feet
|
Keep your barnet very neat
|
For credibility on street
|
|
We are marching as to war
|
We won't be obscure no more
|
In uniform - In uniform
|
|
I am really living life inside a jar - I'm all alone
|
So I feel forgiven if I'm under par - a fallen clone
|
Only in the river can I claim a star to call my own
|
I'm newly born,
|
In uniform I'm up on the throne
|
|
I am frightened, you are frightened
|
Should we get our trousers tightened?
|
Where in Brighton is your norm
|
Who wears enlightened uniform?
|
|
On my Parka is some band
|
I don't really understand
|
Perry is my guiding hand
|
Scooter polo sweeps the land
|
We are marching as to war
|
We won't be obscure no more
|
In uniform - in uniform
|
|
People think we dress alike to segregate identities
|
Pills or drink or puffing pipes in integrated entities
|
Then they wink and snort their line and say how great their Bentley is
|
They feel so warm when they conform. . .
|
|
They say that nakedness is what our Lord intended
|
When we stand naked then we all appear the same
|
But it's just faking it if we all try pretending
|
Are we just making all our prayers in the rain
|
Heaven knows I need new clothes.
|
|
We are marching as to war
|
But we are really fighting for
|
Our uniform - our uniform
|
|
|
When I contemplate my future I go numb, don't feel a thing
|
I don't' overrate my suitors number one, I always sing
|
But the State and their computers make me run for comfort in
|
My uniform.
|
In uniform I feel like a king.
|
|
They say that nakedness is what our Lord intended
|
When we stand naked then we all appear the same
|
But it's just faking it if we all try pretending
|
Are we just making all our prayers in the rain
|
It seems insane
|
But heaven knows
|
It's all the same
|
And I need new clothes
|
