Gary Numan

Songwriter: Gary Numan

Producer: Gary Numan

I'm standing for someone or something
I read it in the papers
I still remember
I heard it on the radio

CHORUS:
I'm a slogan, an old story
A disease, never again
I don't like this new anger
These young boys just make me laugh
This picture, I'm so nervous
The DJ says, "Who are you?"
Look at me, I'm shaking
I don't know if I can move

Working boys ?????? tonight

I don't want to be a torn picture
I don't want to be an old man
I don't want to be a good friend
I don't want to be a hero

(repeat chorus)
