Opened up a letter, I wrote to myself
It was postmarked 7 years before
What are the reasons why I don't want no babies?
I will not insult intelligence and sit here and name these
I knew then that later, I was going to ignore
A change on the inside?
Or a switch on the outside?
We're going down, down, down, down, down
I have two important pieces of paper now
This one says "give this boy a job"
But they don't come too often anymore
The other says, "you two love each other very very much"
So celebration flows but sanction ebbs
Can you believe I want a child now?
After so much whining, and resistance to
A change on the inside?
Or a switch on the outside?
We're going down, down, down, down, down
(Chorus)
You were always talking about
Whoa oh oh
You were always talking about
Whoa oh oh
What modification is next?
Please don't be spiritual solution
Do I need to write a letter to myself?
Stop. Judge. Evolution!
A change on the inside?
Or a switch on the outside?
We're going down, down, down, down, down
(Chorus)
