The Things They Never Told Me - Planet P Project, Tony Carey

(The things they never told me

Yeah the things I never knew

The things I always thought

But never had the nerve to do

The things they didn’t tell me

Like how good it feels

They didn’t have to sell me

I salute and click my heels)

Well there’s something going on here

Yeah there’s something in the air

And all of us belong here we’ve got uniforms to wear

They call it revolution, but I call it good clean fun

And I make my contribution and they let me wear a gun

It don’t get no better than this

Where have they been all my life

I’ve got my jack boots and my fist

I’ve got my matches and my knife

I do the things they never told me

Yeah the things I never knew

The things I always thought

But never had the nerve to do

I do the things they didn’t tell me

Like how good it feels

They didn’t have to sell me

I salute and click my heels

And times were really hard and there was nothing left to eat

I went looking for a job, I walked the soles right off my feet

I did not see the lies, you know I didn’t know who to blame

Till he opened up my eyes, you know he called them out by name

Don’t get no better than this

Where have they been all my life

I’ve got my jack boots and my fist

I’ve got my matches and my knife

I do the thing they never told me

I like the things they never told me

The things they never told me

I do the things they never told me

The things they never told me

The things they never taught me

Yeah the things I never knew

The things I always thought

But never had the nerve to do

Things they didn’t tell me

Like how good it feels

To feel an old man’s glasses

Shatter underneath your heels
