  • He went off
    Like a rocket touched
    Way up in the sky
    Beyond the bars in our minds
    Just took off
    Rocket to the sun
    Blast his way through here
    Beyond the world in our eyes

    We grow up
    If we can join the dots
    That got us here to there
    Beyond our dreams in the spheres
    You go off
    Like little fireworks
    Exploding in the street
    And crumpled sheets where we lie

    All our lives
    The system all decides
    The institution's old
    But still in control
    Nothing in the chambers worth nothing at all
    All the wealth is hidden, diamonds a-glisten
    And solid gold
    Well, have it all, it's worthless Writer/s: Paul John Weller
