You paint your leather jacket but it comes off in the rain
  And the more you cut your hair the more it grows again
  The badges you pin on yourself fall off or start to rust
  And the more they take the piss the less people you can trust
  [Chorus:]
  It's the story of your life
  And the end of it's your death
  And every word that's in between
  Is just a waste of breath
    You don't know who you might have been or who you now should be
  Or what you ought to write on walls or why you wanna be free
  And then you start to panic cos the inspiration's there
  But your not sure how to use it anyway and no one seems to care
    [Chorus]
    You're the classic all-round failure who never seems to win
  You'd like to write a book but you're not sure how to begin
  It's the story of your life
  And the end of it's your death
  And every word that's in between is just a waste of breath
    [Chorus]
