lyrics

Don't you want to prove
You can do it right?
Fear the man
That gives advice

For every year
One new scar
And one old tear
Do it like they showed you
Do you remember who told you
Little tearaway, when will it stop?
You break everything you get
So you find one thing
And you preserve it
Feed
Clean
Keep
Sweet
Prove that you're learning
Do it like they showed you

Sex drive
Housewife
Caught in the cupboard with the bit on the side
Doing it like they showed you
Because that piece
Goes in that piece
Try that one on for size
And shake a little when it's over

Now are you on top?
Are things looking up?
Do you feel
Like a real
Human being
When the alarm goes off,
Soldier?
Right foot, left foot
Get to it!
Remember if you push too hard
You might just bust a nut

Drink that cup
Catch that bus
Shouldn't be that hard for you to get up

Better keep that job
Now here's your stop
Shouldn't be that hard for you to get off

"See if you don't work, you're broke" he said
So roll that dough and make that bread
Look at the legs that go into the houses
Who brings home the bread and who wears the trousers?

Put your shoulder to the wheel
And it will yield
Where there's muck there's brass, boy!
Do it like they showed you
If you keep digging
The ground will keep giving

Here's a picture for you to address
You in the pursuit of happyness
Like it's running away from you
So up your step!
Or the one thing you look for you will never possess
