The Start Lyrics

In the start

You've got it given to ya

You're gonna do alright

Nothing matters to ya

In the start

They'll take care of ya, they won't get mad at ya

And in the night

They'll watch over ya

You're young

You've got nothing to lose

They know what's best for ya

But you don't get to choose

When you're old, maybe you'll understand

That you're on your own

No one will lend you a hand

Here's some math for you

This you gotta know

I know you've got skills

That you gotta show

And if you can't do it

You're gonna live on the streets

Skulkin 'round, an empty soul

With nothing to eat

You'll be cold, sleeping all alone

No friends to hold, 'cause the pressure made you fold

What's the matter with ya

Didn't I tell you not to cheat

Now you're lying, fists are flying

You gotta admit defeat

Well that ain't gonna happen now

Cuz you'll do your best

Do your work till you go berserk

Be successful like the rest

And when the job's all said and done

There's a rule that's set in stone

Do what society tells you

And society might throw you a bone
