History’s a tale somebody was told
Wisdom are teeth that grow when we’re old
Age is just a number, of stone and ice
Truth is so boring, we’d rather the lies
We worship our hopes, that we call God
Peace is a state at the edge of a sword
Life is a house that hasn’t a door
They give it to you and you wonder what for
Jail is a corner on a Monopoly board
Wealth is a future you cannot afford
Tax is the money you give to the rich
Death is an ocean as life is a beach
Scripture is a collection of popular myth
Letters are tiles you’re scrabbling with
Everything they taught you is probably wrong
Love’s all you need, and thus says a song
Size doesn’t matter, it just gets you the girl
Fidelity is a port at the end of the world
Success is a car that your neighbour has bought
That’s not what you want, because you’re a goat
Good girls are androids, they do as they’re told
Fashion’s a statement that says that you’re sold
The future’s expired as it waited too long
You can do as we do but you’ll never belong
Don’t worry they say, be happy and give
Repeat after me, until you believe
Church is a cottage for a weekend retreat
Give us your money, but stay with your wit.
School is a hall where you sit an exam
They teach you for years on how to be dumb
Good boys are clean, they resist and refrain
Use lessons we taught you, but never your brain
True love waits for cobwebs to grow
Patience’s a virtue, and you are a bore
Of course you’re not lonely, except you’re alone
Life is a wind, blink twice, and it’s gone
