Darling you never know
It started years ago
When you're less than kind of done
Adolescent singing out real loud
Some wild english tune:
"Sha-lala lala-lala lala-lala lalala"
We'll never talk it out this time
You'll learn from all of us
When your time's up
How it all began
Seriously done
Less than kind of soon
An adolescent calling out real loud
Its why I sing this tune
Sing: "sha-lala lala-lala lala-lala lalala"
We'll never talk it out this time
You'll learn from all of us
When your time's up
You bet your life on the cruise ship
Bar telling crucial lies
We're destined, wise and we socialize
Bourgeois, why would you care for more?
They give you almost everything
You believed almost anything
Bourgeois, your fires, they burn so long
They give you almost everything
You believed almost anything
Darling you never know
Darling you never know
When you're less than kind of done
Adolescence looking at you now
Like foreign legions do
Sing "sha-lala lala-lala lala-lala lalala"
We'll never talk it out this time
You'll learn from all of us
When your time's up
You lost your mind on a cruise ship
Bar telling crucial lies
We're destined, wise and we socialize
Bourgeois, why would you care for more?
They give you almost everything
You believed almost anything
Bourgeois, your fires, they burn so long
They give you almost everything
You believed almost anything
