lyrics
Once I was alive I was petrified
Once I was alive I was yearning, yearning
Once I was alive, I was sent to die Once I was alive I was earning, earning
Stand in line, give a smile
How come your child, he’s too wild?
Forgive them all and rip them tiles off of the wall.
Once when I was five I was sent to thrive
Once when I was five, I was learning, learning.
By the age of nine made my mother cry
By the age of nine I was gurning, gurning
Stand in line, feeling fine
To use your mind, it’s a crime
'Cos thou shalt not be sublime.
When all that you read is red
and all you conceive is lead.
When all that you read is red;
all that you need is...
When all that you read...
And all you conceive...
When all that you read...
Once I was alive I was yearning, yearning
Once I was alive, I was sent to die Once I was alive I was earning, earning
Stand in line, give a smile
How come your child, he’s too wild?
Forgive them all and rip them tiles off of the wall.
Once when I was five I was sent to thrive
Once when I was five, I was learning, learning.
By the age of nine made my mother cry
By the age of nine I was gurning, gurning
Stand in line, feeling fine
To use your mind, it’s a crime
'Cos thou shalt not be sublime.
When all that you read is red
and all you conceive is lead.
When all that you read is red;
all that you need is...
When all that you read...
And all you conceive...
When all that you read...
