Well you say you've got everything you wanted All your beds are full and your houses are haunted And everything you need, well you got it on credit There's nothing we can think and you haven't said it But something tells me that everything is gonna change When your shares hit low and the world starts to rearrange And when it does i know that You won't be where it's at You better learn The facts of life I guess that no-one ever took you aside And pointed out the difference between black and white And now it seems that role has fallen to me Which is kinds strange when you consider who you wanna be
And you come you don't know How low you'll have to go To realise the facts of life You're too old to learn your abcs And it's much more sinister than the birds and the bees You know i told you it was, didn't i? So now you're dead buried and neglected And you're learning much more than you ever expected No-one can explain your heart attack Now everyone's bringing up baby behind your back Bet you wish you'd listened close Instead of taking an overdose Bet you wish you knew The facts of life The facts of life
