The Facts Of Life Songtext
The Facts Of LifeWell you say you've got everything you wantedAll your beds are full and your houses are hauntedAnd everything you need, well you got it on creditThere's nothing we can think and you haven't said itBut something tells me that everything is gonna changeWhen your shares hit low and the world starts to rearrangeAnd when it does I know thatYou won't be where it's atYou better learnThe facts of lifeI guess that no-one ever took you asideAnd pointed out the difference between black and whiteAnd now it seems that role has fallen to meWhich is kinds strange when you consider who you wanna beAnd you come you don't knowHow low you'll have to goTo realise the facts of lifeYou're too old to learn your ABCsAnd it's much more sinister than the birds and the beesYou know I told you it was, didn't I?So now you're dead buried and neglectedAnd you're learning much more than you ever expectedNo-one can explain your heart attackNow everyone's bringing up baby behind your backBet you wish you'd listened closeInstead of taking an overdoseBet you wish you knewThe facts of lifeThe facts of life
