Get a Life

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

R:

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 could be

You're the same age as me, yet you're older by years

Well you snap to attention and pay heed to what they say

Cos you know that you please them all that way

So I won't try to change you, you can carry on that way

But I hope you come back to life one day

And your head is full of ideas that don't mean a thing

And your life is very simple you won't let the outside in
