The Facts Of Life Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

Well, you say you've got everything you wanted 

All your beds are full and your houses are haunted 

And everything you need, well, you got it on credit 

There's nothing we can think and you haven't yet said it 

But something tells me everything's gonna change 

When your shares hit low and the world starts to rearrange 

And when it does I know that you won't be where it's at 

You better learn the facts of life 

Facts of life, facts of life 

I guess that no one ever took you aside 

And pointed out the difference between black and white 

And now it seems that role has fallen to me 

Which is kinda strange if you consider who you wanna be 

I guess you don't know how low you'll have to go 

To realize the facts of life 

Facts of life, the facts of life 

You're too old to learn your ABCs 

And it's much more sinister 

Than the birds and the bees 

You know I told you it was, didn't I? 

So now you're dead buried and neglected 

And you're learning much more than you ever expected 

No one can explain that heart attack 

Now everyone's bringing up baby behind your back 

Bet you wish you'd listened close 

Instead of taking an overdose 

Bet you wish you knew, the facts of life, the facts of life 

The facts of life, the facts of life 

The facts of life, the facts of life
