lyrics

Too young to resign
Keep repeating I'm doing fine
The pressure to fold
Take your coffee with turpentine
Anesthesia control
Take a number and fall in line
Something to hold
Till we're back on the dole

Catch a fever to go with the cold
Fight the feeling that you're getting old
Cross your fingers and promise
You'll do as you're told, as you're told

Too soon to be late
Overslept in the bed I made
Day breaks a dream
Soak the curtain in kerosene
Strike a match and fly
Through the window, it's open wide
Something to burn
Is it diamond or coal

The moment they trade what you sold
Cut the corners and watch it unfold
Cross your fingers and promise
You'll do as you're told, do as you're told

Catch a fever to go with the cold
Fight the feeling that you're getting old
Cross your fingers and promise
You'll do as you're told, do as you're told
Cross your fingers and promise
You'll do as you're told, do as you're told
