How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? Lyrics - Behavior - Pet Shop Boys

You live upon a stage and everyone's agreed 

you're the brightest hope by far that anyone can see 

So when you take the limelight you can guarantee 

you're gaining fame and claiming credibility 

Tell me baby are you gonna get high as a kite? 

Tell me baby are you gonna let it happen every night? 

How can you expect to be taken seriously? 

You live within the law, and everyone assumes 

you must find this a bore and try something new 

You're an intellectual giant, an authority 

to preach and teach the whole world about ecology 

Tell me baby are you gonna make any other claim? 

Tell me baby are you gonna take any of the blame? 

How can you expect to be taken seriously? 

How can you expect to be taken seriously? 

You live within the headlines, so everyone can see 

You're supporting every new cause and meeting royalty 

You're another major artist on a higher plane 

Do you think they'll put you in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame? 

Tell me baby how you generate longevity 

Tell me baby how you really hate publicity 

How can you expect to be taken seriously? 

How can you expect to be taken seriously? 

Seriously 

Seriously 

Do you have a message for your fans?
