lyrics

Take your wives out to the sea
Where the sand and sun are free
'till they're crying out for love
Asking only to be free

From the kids that they have born
From the scars that time has worn
From all decency and creed
'till their heart no longer bleeds

And as they thank you for the ride
Wave your hand, put on a smile ...

Take your boys out to the streets
Give them music and critique
'till they stay awake all night
Getting ready for the fight

Against all ordinary forms
Against all law and uniform
'till they're ready to ascend
Into a life you've always planned

And as they thank you for the ride
Wave your hand, put on a smile ...

You're no longer needed
We know it all, now we're even ...

So is a man to live alone?
From himself he's never torn
Or should he open up the gates
For the class of 88?

Should he take it all with stride?
Wave them off and stay inside
Or should he go out to fulfill
His new dream, up on the hill?

And thank them all for the ride
Wave his hand and smile with pride?

Live
