A5 
Two men on the street drinking something cheap 
G5 
No home, no family It's cold, nowhere to sleep 
A5                               G5 
Passers-by never catch their eye anywhere 
 
One man drinks, the other swears

You know where you went wrong

The old man can't understand 

No one will shake his hand 

'I gave security, bombs and colour TV 

It cost a few lives - someone's son always dies' 

No one shakes his hand/ He don't understand 
 
You know where you went wrong 

You know where you went wrong, you know 

You know where you went wrong 

You know where you went wrong, you know

         F5  
of every boy and every girl 
                                         F5 
who don't understand what's going on any more

Two girls with a photograph 
One looks, the other laughs 
'He could have been mine 
Why did I change my mind?' 
Then hands on hips 
the other girl says 'Admit, admit'
