Do as I Say Not as I Do
Now the fat cats are crying over wasted milk
And the trees are bending over to make room for the moon
But a plague on on the house of cards they've build
There is a ship on the horizon with a menacing metal harpoon
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do
Fast is the virtue with the cameras and curfews
Little scare among us of the pending doom
A little problem just is making stel light statues
Empty are the pockets of the victims of the baby boom
Do as I say, not as I do
Why should we listen to you
Do as I say, not as I do
Oh to all the people that I might have offended
It wasn't that intended
I hope we can amend it
Do as I say, not as I do
Oh to all the people that I might have offended
You probably needed it
So take your cake and eat it
When we were the bright spots firing up the circuits
In the rough bars,
Flicking every switch blessing holes right through your blood
Cloths swimming through the red cells I can find it to you
Oh if we have the ice age,
Should we start again,
I'll turn the next page
Thinking of the weekends playing herbs
Like a rib cage shaking off the cobwebs
To keep it from you
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do, ooh
Oh to all the people that I might have offended
You probably needed it, so take a cake and eat it
When we were the bright spots firing up the circuits
In the rough bars,
Flicking every switch blessing holes right through your blood
Cloths skimming through the red cells I can find it to you
Oh if we have the ice age,
Should we start again,
I'll turn the next page
Thinking of the weekends playing herbs
Like a rib cage shaking off the cobwebs
To keep it from you
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do
Why should we listen to you
Why should we listen to you
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do
And the trees are bending over to make room for the moon
But a plague on on the house of cards they've build
There is a ship on the horizon with a menacing metal harpoon
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do
Fast is the virtue with the cameras and curfews
Little scare among us of the pending doom
A little problem just is making stel light statues
Empty are the pockets of the victims of the baby boom
Do as I say, not as I do
Why should we listen to you
Do as I say, not as I do
Oh to all the people that I might have offended
It wasn't that intended
I hope we can amend it
Do as I say, not as I do
Oh to all the people that I might have offended
You probably needed it
So take your cake and eat it
When we were the bright spots firing up the circuits
In the rough bars,
Flicking every switch blessing holes right through your blood
Cloths swimming through the red cells I can find it to you
Oh if we have the ice age,
Should we start again,
I'll turn the next page
Thinking of the weekends playing herbs
Like a rib cage shaking off the cobwebs
To keep it from you
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do, ooh
Oh to all the people that I might have offended
You probably needed it, so take a cake and eat it
When we were the bright spots firing up the circuits
In the rough bars,
Flicking every switch blessing holes right through your blood
Cloths skimming through the red cells I can find it to you
Oh if we have the ice age,
Should we start again,
I'll turn the next page
Thinking of the weekends playing herbs
Like a rib cage shaking off the cobwebs
To keep it from you
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do
Why should we listen to you
Why should we listen to you
Do as I say, not as I do
Do as I say, not as I do
