Get A Life Lyrics - Get A Life - Stiff Little Fingers

Well you snap to attention 

And pay heed to what they say 

'cause you know 

That you please them all that way 

And you don't need to think now 

'cause your mind has gone astray 

And they'll do your thinking anyway 

And your head is full of ideas 

That don't mean a thing 

With your new sense of duty 

And your brain washed shiny clean 

It's time 

To take your part in the parade 

Yet you sound like your father 

And I don't want to be mean 

But did 

You never want to break away? 

And your head is full of answers 

With no questioning 

And your life is very simple 

You won't let the outside in 

(Chorus): 

Won't you tell me 

Why won't you get a life? 

Are you scared of what feels right? 

Won't you help me 

Reach the meaning of you 

Well it's hard for me 

To understand how this can be 

You're the same age as me 

Yet you're older by years 

Repeat vs 1 

So I won't try to change you 

You can carry on that way 

But I hope 

You come back to life one day
