When your young they fail to tell you Just say that you're so smart And you're so special They take your heart and then they break it And they take your skull, and then they shake it But they're never gonna tell you from the start That the world is gonna break your little heart They never say the game is rigged Just that the world's so small, and you're so big You go and get a job, and you break your back And you wish that they had told you that But they're never gonna tell you from the start Yes, the world is gonna break your little heart And no-one wants to teach these classes So they fit you up for rose coloured glasses The ones you love don't have to love you back And you can try so hard But the chance is fat You buy your land and pay your taxes And no choice left but to join with the masses And you don't want to be their soldier If you don't believe it now, then come back when you're older But they're never gonna tell you from start Yes, the world is gonna break your little heart They're never gonna tell you from the start Yes, the world is gonna break your little heart
