Wearing braces, the red, white, and blue
Doing what he thinks he ought to do
Used to be a punk and a mod too
Or is it just a phase he's going through

He's a clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead- got no choice
He's a clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead-one of the boys

Take him to the pub, buy him a beer
Tell him what he wants to hear
Wind him up like clockwork toy
Wants to be a man but he's just a boy

He's a clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead- got no choice
He's a clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead-one of the boys

Believes everything the papers say
What's he gonna be today
What is it hip to be
Will he be himself or will he copy me?

He's a clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead- got no choice
He's a clockwork skinhead, just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead-one of the boys
