Advice to a Son

Never trust a white man, never kill a Jew
Never sign a contract, never rent a pew
All the world's a stage, and me & you are the players
Never write for magazines, never scratch your hives
Never get in politics, never go to war
All the world's a stage, and me & you are the players

Laugh at the world that's leaving you, we can wait below
Sing and the hills will answer, don't sigh when you're lost for words

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say the world will end in ice
From what I've tasted of desire, I do favour fire
But don't be afraid to play your part, so go play your part

Never marry whores, never pay a blackmailer
Never go to law, never trust a dealer
Succeed and guilt, 'cause it will help you live
All your friends will leave you, all your friends will die
You will be remembered
I have no doubt, you'll join them in the sky

Laugh at the world that's leaving you, we can wait below
Sing and the hills will answer, don't sigh when you're lost for words

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say the world will end in ice
From what I've tasted of desire, I do favour fire
But don't be afraid to play your part
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, ooh
And if you can walk with kings and don't lose common touch
You'll be a man, you'll be a man my son

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say the world will end in ice
From what I've tasted of desire, I do favour fire
But don't be afraid to play your part, so go play your part
Play your part, play your part
