Stiff Little Fingers - Get A Life lyrics

Well you snap to attention And pay heed to what they say Cos you know That you please them all that way And you don't need to think now Cos your mind has gone astray And they'll do your thinking anyway And your head is full of ideas That don't mean a thing With your new sense of duty And your brain washed shiny clean It's time To take your part in the parade Yet you sound like your father And I don't want to be mean But did You never want to break away? And your head is full of answers With no questioning And your life is very simple You won't let the outside in (Chorus): Won't you tell me Why won't you get a life? Are you scared of what feels right? Won't you help me Reach the meaning of you Well it's hard for me To understand how this can be You're the same age as me Yet you're older by years Repeat vs 1 So I won't try to change you You can carry on that way But I hope You come back to life one day
