The Facts of Life - John Wesley Harding

Well you say youve got everything you wanted

All your beds are full and your houses are haunted

And everything you need, well you got it on credit

Theres nothing we can think and you havent said it But something tells me that everything is gonna change

When your shares hit low and the world starts to rearrange

And when it does I know that

You wont be where its at You better learn

The facts of life

I guess that no-one ever took you aside

And pointed out the difference between black and white

And now it seems that role has fallen to me Which is kinds strange when you consider who you wanna be And you come you dont know

How low youll have to go To realise the facts of life

Youre too old to learn your abcs

And its much more sinister than the birds and the bees

You know I told you it was, didnt i?

So now youre dead buried and neglected

And youre learning much more than you ever expected

No-one can explain your heart attack

Now everyones bringing up baby behind your back

Bet you wish youd listened close

Instead of taking an overdose

Bet you wish you knew

The facts of life
