Lyrics
(Written by séan mccann)
I left my home, my family by the ocean Out on my own, to seek my fortune There's no work to occupy these young hands So look out boy! your heading for the mainland!
Chorus: And what do you do? can't make nothing out of nothing Everybody needs a start And what do you do? can't make nothing out of nothing Give my country back its heart
Now I was born on a st. john's street Where all my hopes could meet with defeat I hired my days to higher education No I'm so smart I could rule this goddamn nation
Chorus
No I'm alone but I'm working everyday I'm getting stoned and blowing all my pay Just to survive I'll do whatever I can No I'm alive, but I cannot be a real man
Chorus
