Do you wanna be told,
How to live your life?
Would you wanna be old,
Eating wholegrain rice?
Do you wanna play rough,
With the muscular mice?
Do you have the stuff,
Or are you gonna be nice?
Do you wanna be,
Free from strife and live a carefree life?
Preached to no more from their crooked boxes?
And you'll laugh a whole lot,
And you'll smoke a lotta pot,
And even play with Barbie dolls with the kids,
In the park.
Parents bark at you,
'cause you didn't think it through,
You're care free, so you didn't need to,
You're in the dark.
Consider this a lesson learnt.
Consider this a lesson learnt.
Have you ever been told,
you've got a lovely chest?
Would you wanna be told,
you're her second best?
And do you wanna fuck rough,
with adventerous mice?
Hold on, I mean gerbils,
They've got a nastier bite.
Do you wanna see,
My big, juicy piece of pie?
Stick your fingers in several crusts,
You'll be busy full time,
and you'll never get to climb,
all the trees and the brand new climbing frames, in the park.
No one larks with you,
'cause you're always somewhere new,
and your friends and family, you left them in the dark.
Consider this a lesson learnt.
Consider this a lesson learnt.
Don't drink and drive,
with a small child in the back seat of your fiat punto.
Actually, just don't drink and drive.
Don't sing along,
if you do not know the words to the song on the radio.
Tragedy, when the fear has gone.
Actually, it's the "feelings gone".

And now you've learnt the lessons,
Go and live.
