someday they won't let you
the times they are a-telling
and the changing isn't free
you've read it in the tea leaves
they'll break your pretty cranium
and tell you that you're eighty
you'll be shooting up this huge world
like tomorrow's wasn't there
we played out an all night movie role
now we can talk in confidence
did you guess that we've been done wrong
lies jumped the queue to be first in line
he thinks he's well screened from the man at the top
it's a shame that his children disagree
they cooly decide to sell him down the line
daddy's brainwashing time
no no didn't hear it from me
no no didn't hear it from me
she doesn't recall her blessed childhood out of yore
when a unit was a figure not a she
when lovers chose each other seems the perk's are due
no no didn't hear it from me
no no didn't hear it from me
can you wipe your nose my child without them slotting in your file a photograph
will you sleep in fear tonight wake to find the scorching light of neighbour jim
we played out an all night movie role
