A Boy Like Me

A boy like me is told he is both nine and ninety and
A boy like me should shut those books, join the army

But a boy like me would never be seen fighting for peace
I want total chaos and a holiday home in the East

A boy like me should know much better than to raise his flag in stormy weather
but I just can’t get enough electric shocks
I want to buy a lighthouse and ride a giraffe on the rocks

I don’t give up

I want… two dogs, two cats, a big kitchen and a welcome mat
I want all this, and all I shall have

I don’t give up

A boy like me don’t ever
Give up
Give up his dream
No
