1
Written by Stewart Copeland
2
When you reach number ten
3
And think the struggle ends
4
But it ain't the end
5
It's only a trend
6
You have to unbend
7
'Cause it's only a trend
8
Don't lose all your friends
9
Don't make your heroes end
10
When you reach number eight
11
It ain't no pearly gate
12
'Cause it won't satiate
13
Your growing appetite
14
You can ply your trade
15
And push your crusade
16
Emancipate or indoctrinate, but the
17
Traps are all laid for any honest crusade
18
Your old values will fade
19
As you struggle to make the grade
20
As you struggle to make the grade
21
You needn't bother!
22
When you hit number four
23
You're almost through the door
24
But there's a whole lot
25
More you just can't ignore
26
The telephone's sure, you know the score
27
But don't let this uproar
28
Dissipate your encore
29
It's written in the news
30
How you paid your dues
31
But you've no excuse
32
For the people you abuse
33
When you reach number one
34
You can beat your drum
35
You can sack your roadies in Birmingham
36
When your record is platinum
37
You can stick it to the [band]
38
To the wall like you've always planned
39
It's written in the news how you paid your dues
40
But you've no excuse for the people you abuse
41
When you reach number ten
42
The people you abuse
43
No excuse
44
For the people you abuse
45
You've got no excuse
46
For the people you abuse
