Everyone is saying what to do and what to think
And when to ask permission when you feel you want to blink
First look left and then look right and now look straight ahead
Make sure and take a warning of every word we've said

Now you lay you down to sleep make sure and get some rest
Tomorrow is another day and you must pass the test
Don't try and think too different now what we say is best
Listen little man you're no better than the rest

Don't lay beside the wayside all around the road we've set
Smile and look happy fool or we'll throw you in the wet

Now if you learn your lesson well and step upon the line
Save your breath until forever we should get along just fine
We'll bend your heart until it breaks make sure you feel no pain
We'll be the one to crush you and give you to the rain

But now you want to run away oh can I see you run
Run across the frozen air try resting on the sun
And if you feel it burn you don't yell out in pain
Or wish you had a velvet sponge full of soothing rain

So let's have that stiff upper lip now take a long deep breath
Close your ears you cannot hear the rules are all pre-set
You thought we were illusions but we meant the word we said
We're in command, you tiny fly, we'll crush you till you're dead
