The Blow Monkeys - How Long Can a Bad Thing Last? lyrics

When you grow up They tell you there's responsibilities But all you wanna do is Make love and make time and make money For the things in life You spend to make a better world You think you're so free And you're so f**ing groovy (So get up and find out how things could be) I'm not talking from experience But me you must believe (So wake up and make up your mind to be free) Yeah, here's that woman on the TV You can take it if you want it It's not easy to resist It's the same conclusion I'm coming to You know life is worth living If you're willing to, yeah How long can a bad thing last? This is what people should ask If you're feeling down, put your vote to cast How long, been going on for too long A woman I know makes a living out of this And the sad thing is Is that the victims don't resist You can take it or leave it Or fake it or put it down But believe me, it's a bad day buster When your not around (So get up and find out how things could be) Are you making fun of me? Are you making fun of me? (So wake up and make up your mind to be free) Yeah, here's that woman on that TV How long can a bad thing last? This is what people should ask If you're feeling down, put your vote to cast How long, this is going on for too long This is not the chance for anybody You know life is worth living If you're willing to You can take it if you want it It's not easy to resist It's the same conclusion I'm coming to You know life is worth living If you're willing to, yeah How long (So get up, so get up and go) This is what (You gotta, you gotta make her stand down) If you're feeling down, put your vote to cast I said, how long can a bad thing last? I said, how long can this go You gotta, you gotta, you gotta stand down (Why don't you tell me)
