John Wesley Harding - The Facts Of Life Lyrics
Well you say youve got everything you wantedAll your beds are full and your houses are hauntedAnd everything you need, well you got it on creditTheres nothing we can think and you havent 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 wont be where its 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 dont knowHow low youll have to goTo realise the facts of lifeYoure too old to learn your abcsAnd its much more sinister than the birds and the beesYou know I told you it was, didnt i?So now youre dead buried and neglectedAnd youre learning much more than you ever expectedNo-one can explain your heart attackNow everyones bringing up baby behind your backBet you wish youd listened closeInstead of taking an overdoseBet you wish you knewThe facts of lifeThe facts of life
