Now he wanted to fly all those big aeroplanes

      A               B         E

Trans-continental and back home again

                      A

But his brain, it was grounded

B                  E

His head could not cope

           A          B           E

No qualifications, no reasons for hope





E                 A            B          E            

They told him the right way to fasten his tie

             A             B         E

Beat him for laughing and never said why

                  A              B           E

They left him for dead when the results came through

                A             B         E

And still never asked what he wanted to do





   A                 B

No qualifications so late in the day

      A               E           A                E

We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way

Now to label your trousers and label your shoes

If you don't wear nothing then label that too





No qualifications, you are the time born

If you wanna succeed you better get some qualifications

So late in the day

We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way
