Casualty

At 17 you're in a world of your own You think that no-one quite understands Your mother is telling you to stay at home Your father has quite different plans You've packed your bags and you're ready to leave Like so many times before You leave the envelope on the kitchen table As you turn the key of the door I'm so sorry but you'll never understand But you've never had the problems that I've had And I think that I can make it But life is just a game And I'm dealing all my aces While I grit my teeth in pain Chorus: I'm not a casualty (Hey boy) I'm not a number (Do you really care?) I'm looking through glossy magazines They make it look oh so real But my life isn't quite right just now Who knows just how I feel Another tube station and a false address Know where to sleep tonight Another false friend who smiles and smiles And smiles through his evil eyes I'm so sorry but you'll never understand But you've never had the problems that I've had And I think that I can make it But life is just a game And I'm dealing all my aces While I grit my teeth in pain Chorus
