You're flouncing in a disco With populist bravado It's middle of the road but there you go And when you use the men's room The man in there befriends you Then taps you for a quid and sprays your throat
You're getting a few maybes From several so-so ladies Most of them are doing what you need But you don't really want it It's just a short-term tonic Systems of avoidance that you feed
It's just something to think about I won't judge your ways But I love you man and I'll feel the buzz The day you turn the page
You don't need to go on a holiday To scrape away decay You're a grown man You know what it takes To do the right thing
If it gets to get to you Get a better energy When it gets to get you low Get a better energy If it gets to get to you Get a better energy When it gets to get you low Get it by the throat
You're running out of corners Your friends have tried to warn you The more you cut the more you'll fail And now you look to blame me The irony is crazy Ditch the oars and grab the sail
Don't leave this too late Whip it back into shape Don't leave this too late Whip it back into shape
It's just something to think about I won't judge your ways But I love you man and I'll feel the buzz The day you turn the page
You don't need to go on a holiday To scrape away decay You're a grown man You know what it takes To do the right thing
If it gets to get to you Get a better energy When it gets to get you low Get a better energy If it gets to get to you Get a better energy When it gets to get you low Get it by the throat [x2]
It's just something to think about I won't judge your ways But I love you man and I'll feel the buzz The day you turn the page
You don't need to go on a holiday To scrape away decay You're a grown man You know what it takes To do the right thing
