Play their game or...?

lyrics

Skipping and a-jumping
Round and round
Your heart skips a beat
When you hear that sound
The bell rules your life
The clock rules your day
You’re told what to do
What to think and say
Conveyor belt knowledge
For conveyor belt minds
No time for thoughts of freedom
If you want to survive

Can you loop the loop?
Do the vertical dive?
You’ll never get out
Of that dungeon alive
Can you speed and crash
All in one night?
Breaking all the limits
It’s a buzz, it’s a fright
Have you got the right clothes
And shoes on your feet?
Better get off the streets
If you can’t take the heat

All the boys ‘n’ girls
Have got to study real hard
Got to do their work right
If they want to get a job
All the boys ‘n’ girls
Have got to grow up fast
With their eyes on the future
Don’t care about the past
Spend their lives spinning
The same old dance
Look out for number one
Take the main chance

Some day they’ll come
and take your life away
Two point five kids
And a mortgage to pay
A shitty little job
And a gingernut a day
So you’d better rebel
Some time in your life
Before you get commitments
Before you get a wife
Go and raise your colours
Fly your flag high
Storm your Bastille
Have your Fourth of July

Don’t consume their goods
They’ll consume your mind
Not the best of trades
I think you’ll find
You don’t need their rules
You can make your own
Unless you want to end up
Living like a clone
Don’t accept the status quo
You’re on shaky ground
Stand it on its head!
Turn it around!
Stand it on its head!
Turn it around!
etc.
