Steve Lillywhite - The Facts Of Life lyrics

[Verse 1:] Monkey see and monkey do Making babies, eating food Smelly things, pubic hair Words of love in the air Sparks fly, shooting out Making sure that everything is working I can't turn you down We are programmed happy little children Matter over mind We can not resist so I won't fight it Love is a machine Love is a machine without a driver [Chorus:] The facts of life[x2] [Verse 2:] A masterpiece Biology Smoky water Air conditioned Boys 'n' girls And automation Chromosomes Designer jeans And chimpanzees And human beings [Chorus:] Machines of love[x2] [Verse 2:] Strong in body, strong in mind A love machine with the facts of life The facts of life The facts of life So much s** 'n' violence Must be a bad design We're stupid to be fighting Every night The monsters we create They welcome us aboard The best in advertising From coast to coast The girls and boys combine Like monkeys in the zoo The clouds have silver linings Looks pretty good People fall in love like in fairy tales I'm not sure I like, what they can do I'm afraid that God has no master plan He only takes -- what he can use Factory life, ice cream and pie Factory life Someday we'll live on Venus Men will walk on Mars But we will still be monkeys Down deep inside If chimpanzees are smart Then we will close our eyes And let our instincts guide us Oh oh oh oh no
