Stands To Reason

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

They say our country's on the rocks and Britain is the

greatest

They say the blacks get all the jobs, they say that

they are lazy

A nice girl won't let you have sex, enjoys it if you

make her

The media all twist the facts, I read it in the paper

Stands to reason

You've heard it said so it has to be the truth

Fact or fiction, what's the difference, they say it's

so

But think again, repeat mistakes and it's never gonna

change

And you never get the truth if you never ask yourself

What do they know?

They say all cops are bastard thugs, they're all a

bunch of racists

The Scots are mean, the Irish mugs, at heart all men

are rapists

Girls today they ask for it, I never touched your

mother

And youngsters now are all on drugs, yes, thanks, I'll

have another

Stands to reason

Mark my words, take a tip from one who knows

You will know more when you're older, they say it's so

But come again, question it when you see it doesn't

fit

And you never get the truth if you never ask yourself

So you ask me what's the score

Well, I can only say to make up your own mind

I'd rather see the whole world die than you or I

believe a lie

What do I know?

We had it hard when I was young, we used to have such

great times

A man took pride in what he'd done, you should have

seen the breadlines

To get back to that golden age there must be

unemployment

But kids today don't want to work, they're just out

for enjoyment

Stands to reason

It won't change cos it's always been the same

People hating, people fighting, they say it's so

Do you believe that? Perhaps you do but it's only up

to you

And you never get the truth if you never ask yourself

What do they know?
