1
Don't ever call me a man
2
I'll decide for myself to tell you what I am
3
Don't want to be called a boy know more
4
'Cause boys fill the trenches in imperialist war
5
Don't ever call me a queen
6
Victorian values just ain't the scene
7
Don't want to be held responsible for you
8
To blame you for the future and the history too
9
We are the Commonwealth boys
10
South African village and Jamaican toys
11
Born to create but trained to destroy
12
And I am a Commonwealth boy

Don't ask if I'm a respectable force
14
I'm a ineffectual, intellectual of course
15
You would not up stand a really pretentious fool
16
I became aware in the care of a waitresses' school
17
Don't even call me a friend of the post
18
The fox holes have fallen and the cemeteries closed
19
And I've been slaving down on charity farm
20
Livin' like a socialist with blood on my arm

We are the Commonwealth youths
22
From Thunder and Turnside were looking for jobs
23
Born to create but doomed to destroy
24
I am a Commonwealth boy

Yeah, don't ever call me a man

I'll decide for myself what I am

Don't want to be a boy know more

Victorian values just ain't my scene

Don't want to be responsible for you

We blame you for the future and the history too
33
Don't ever call me a man
34
I'll decide when my life ends
35
I'm a boy, I'm a boy, don't you tell the fairies
36
I'm a boy, I'm a boy but my mother would not admit it
