In the year when your bicycle broke
You were crying in the yard
But the world was a glorious game
New adventures stole your heart
It will come, it will go
But you hold on to what you know
You play your part
You play your part
You only full for what you really want to
In the year when the future was lost
You were fighting in the class
Headed west with your wits and snarl
Left your parents in the past
'78 was the year you explored
Tore your clothes and shaved your head
Joined a band with a broken down van
Thought your life was really swell
It will come, it will go
But you hold on to what you know
You play your part
You play your part
You only full for what you really want to
You only full for what you really want to
Save it all, save it all
Save it all and want your tears away
Save it all, save it all
Save it all and want those tears
It has gone, it has gone
But you hold on to what you know
You play your part
You play your part
You only full for what you really want to
You play your part
You only full for what you really want to
