Neil Innes - It's Not Safe lyrics

All you want to do is something good So get ready to be ridiculed and misunderstood 'Cause don't you know that you're a f**ing freak in this world In which everybody's willing to choose swine over pearls And maybe everything is all for nothing Still you'd better keep it to yourself 'Cause God knows it's not safe with anybody else You can take your own advice and try again But a thousand compromises don't add up to a win And they'd be happy if you'd only cover your tracks But the trail of crumbs you've left won't help you find your way back So maybe everything is all for nothing Still you'd better keep it to yourself 'Cause God knows it's not safe with anybody else God knows it's not safe with anybody else You can play along, but you'll just end up wrong somehow, won't you But you're the idiot who keeps believing in luck And you just can't get it through your head that no one else gives a f** So maybe everything is all for nothing Still you'd better keep it to yourself 'Cause God knows it's not safe with anybody else God knows it's not safe with anybody else God knows it's not safe with anybody else It's not safe with anybody else God knows it's not safe with anybody else [at 5:52] (Play that guitar But you're the idiot who keeps believing in luck The speaker is out of the picture I'm talking to the microphone The microphone thinks that I'm talking But I'm not talking at all I'm singing to you)
