Don't you get embarrassed
You can make the suckers squirm
To get over that sudden yuk
Cry if you want
Does it stop you acting snide
Let your tears flow, let your past go
Many many years ago when life appeared rosy red
Think about how long it took
Tears now surely long since dried
Before you led a promised life
Rash commitments and heavy raps
And left wing spiel all compromised
Aren't you glad it's your last term
Cry if you want
Does your ego save your face I had a go, I really tried
Yesterday the day before
No one ever shared your bed
Don't you get embarrassed
Didn't you wraith in anger
Cry if you want, cry if you want
And scary dreams that you were dead
Didn't you drive a banger
Maybe things were better then
Drive 'em nuts with empty lies
But that ain't what you really are
Let your tears flow, let your past go
When you read the precious things you said
You fall in love with other's wives
Cry if you want
No more acting lowly worm
Should have been a famous star
Let your tears flow, let your past go
But you will never get away
Cry if you want
And read the kind of crap you wrote
When you were young with much to learn
But you can try if you want
While they are propping up the bar
Cry if you want, cry if you want
Now you know your leaders lied
When in the mirror you would look
Nothing ever filled your head
Don't you want to hide your face
Cry if you want
Cry if you want, cry if you want
Forgot the color of their eyes
Or are you still a boy that cried
Cry if you want
Cry if you want
About "Ban the bomb" and city crooks
When you tell them how much you earn
You could shout your last harrah
Let your tears flow, let your past go
And a gallon didn't get you far
Angry 'cos you lost the prize
When you saw the man in his big car
With the things you said today
Don't you feel ashamed at all
Cry if you want, cry if you want
Except yourself and little teed
when you think about the way you were
The bitterness you keep inside
Well now my son you're well in stook
When going through your teenage books
