Well you snap to attention
And pay heed to what they say
Cos you know
That you please them all that way
And you don`t need to think now
Cos your mind has gone astray
And they`ll do your thinking anyway
And your head is full of ideas
That don`t mean a thing
With your new sense of duty
And your brain washed shiny clean
It`s time
To take your part in the parade
Yet you sound like your father
And I don`t want to be mean
But did
You never want to break away?
And your head is full of answers
With no questioning
And your life is very simple
You won`t let the outside in
(Chorus):
Won`t you tell me
Why won`t you get a life?
Are you scared of what feels right?
Won`t you help me
Reach the meaning of you
Well it`s hard for me
To understand how this can be
You`re the same age as me
Yet you`re older by years
