intro x2
You're asking me, "what's it leading to?
Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?"
No point asking me because I haven't got a c lue
You're asking me, "will it be alri ght?"
If you're asking me don't take my adv ice
And do n't make me responsible
For you living your l ife
I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry
I could just as easily go t ell a lie, couldn't I, yeah
What would come after, that would be un wise
If that's what you r eally want
Then g et a life, get a life, get a life
You're asking me, "will it be alri ght?"
Because I've been around, I have the ins ight
And I was there the first time so I must know what it's like
If you're asking me, don't take my ad vice
Do we learn from all the questions that we ask
Do we listen to the past, we never do
It's up to you to go and make your own mistakes
Hav e a go and break a leg
But please don't come home crying when you do
You're asking me, don't take my advice
Because I've been there before
Doesn't come to pass
That I have all the answers to the questions that you ask
I'm telling you because you're asking me
Anyway, what am I supposed to say
Could say everything is really brilliant
Anything to make your worries disappear
Put your conscience in the clear
And make you think there's nothing left to fear
You're asking me, "what's it leading to?
Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?"
No point asking me because I wasn't even there
First time around it was really grand
But inside something said to me
Go get a life, get a life
Now that I'm here I can't understand
Why anyone is asking me, if I could give a damn
I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry
I could just as easily go tell a lie, couldn't I?
Then what would come after, that would be u nwise
If that's what yo u really want then
G et a life, get a life, get a life
If you're asking me, don't take my ad vice
