Tradition

Its's a religion without a God

Determines behaviour

To keep all peas within one pod

And call it our saviour

'Cause praying proves no benefit

There's smouldering stakes to show for it

And for every abuse

There's a perfect excuse

Tradition

Noone asks for evidence

That's rather convenient

Stupidity's a preference

For being obedient

Hang on to what you've got

You silly superstitious lot

Boy meets girl

Girl loves boy,

Family planning

Just like the old folks

Just like before

Shame on the mother

Baby's a girl

Staining the family honour

Has done her

No good

Ten commandments counting for

Eleven expectations

All your worries disappear

Free of guilt and free of fear

So we're fighting the bull

As it pays to be cruel

Tradition

Memories

Devoted to the past

History

Caught up on you at last

I can't live without you

Boy meets girl

Girl wants boy

Boy wants girl

Girl's unsure

Family values

Just like before

The boy is alright

The girl is a whore

It's a religion without a God

Determines behaviour

To keep all peas within one pod

And call it our saviour

'Cause praying proves no benefit

There's smouldering stakes to show for it

The way that we choose

Is a perfect excuse
