| This Be The Verse | |
| They fuck you up, your mum and dad. | |
| They may not mean to, but they do. | |
| They fill you with the faults they had | |
| And add some extra, just for you. | |
| But they were fucked up in their turn | 5 |
| By fools in old-style hats and coats, | |
| Who half the time were soppy-stern | |
| And half at one another’s throats. | |
| Man hands on misery to man. | |
| It deepens like a coastal shelf. | 10 |
| Get out as early as you can, | |
| And don’t have any kids yourself. |
