You lit a flame in my heart 
 And it is burning still 
 And every time I hear you shout 
 It still gives me a thrill 
 I can see you up there 
 On a stage and jumping
 Yeah, I can see you up there
 With your right leg pumping 

 Goodbye inspiration 
 Voice of a generation 
 Goodbye Inspiration 
 I won't be playing [bad word] again 

 You wore your heart on your sleeve 
 With honesty and pride 
 You gave me hope, made me believe 
 That what I did was right 
 You brought out a passion 
 That had long been missing 
 Yeah you brought out a passion 
 That you never stopped giving 

Goodbye inspiration 
 Voice of a generation 
 Goodbye Inspiration 
 I won't be playing [bad word] again 

 And if music seems mundane 
 It's cause [bad word] get their own way 
 And all the young bands seem to say 
 Please turn our rebellion into money 

 So thanks for giving me my creed 
 I'll try to stay onside 
 Y'or helping me to dare to dream 
 After all this time 
 Cause I still see you up there 
 On a stage and playing 
 Yeah I still see you up there 
 I still agree with what your saying
