Feeling the pressure
Coming down on you
Who you see, where you go
What you say, what you do
You're getting so wrapped up you can't make a move
Without first finding out if your friends all approve
With their advice and consent, advice and consent
Their point of view
Advice and consent, advice and consent
Is it important to you?
And it can be frightening
Breaking out on your own
You get no fair warning
When you go it alone
Do you trust yourself and think know what's best
Or do you leave it up in the air and follow the rest
With their advice and consent, advice and consent
Directing you
Advice and consent, advice and consent
It's really up to you
They're telling you
They're telling me
They've got us thinking just the way it should be
But we must try to find out on our own
Because who really knows you more than you
And me more than me?
It's just advice and consent, advice and consent
It's not always true
Advice and consent, advice and consent
It's up to you
Advice and consent, advice and consent
Their point of view
Advice and consent, advice and consent
It's really up to you
Advice and consent, advice and consent
Advice and consent, advice and consent
Advice and consent
