Luyện nghe bài hát From The Cradle To The Grave

Well they took you from your mother's and put you in a school
you how to run your life by following the rules
Told you not to pick your nose or the queen
Scrub your teeth three times a day mind and body clean
up all your pocket money, nothing is for free
And you'd better trust your parents cos no one else you see
And then they you off each day remember what you're told
"You may think you don't teaching but you'll need it when you're old"

And if you're too they'll cut you down to size
They'll praise you til you're happy then fill you full of lies
Cos is threatening and genius is sin
If you ever see through them they know they'd never win

So they channel your into the right direction
If you're good enough and enough you can be a politician
On the other hand if your too thick they'll tell you you're lazy
They'll put you down and wind you up until it drives you

They'll say you ought to a trade to help you in your life
Success is written in three parts: A job, a house, a
say that school prepares you for the awesome world outside
Well it certainly gives you bigotry and pride

Racism, sexism teacher to
From school to work the sameare you white and middle class?

You'll learn that bad men in black and good men dress in white
And the pamphlets in the playground say that's
And that girls were made for housework and boys were made to
And the naughty pictures on page 3 make everything

And so from school to the outside these morals you will take
And unless you can reject them you'll have your at stake

They'll give you a decision you get to 18, too
The to vote for someone else who says he cares for you
But the only thing he about is getting to the top
By conning you empty words that promise you a lot
But the end result is slavery to a set of ideals
You'll be tempted to believe them cos they'll seem so real
The slavery of attitudes that make you in line
devoted to the morals of our time

And when you end up on the dole which you very likely
They'll offer you a brand new Learning how to kill

Why you join the army? Be a man and not a fool
There's someone else to for you just like there was at school

They'll promise you absolution from the you'll commit
In the name of god and country they can get away it
They fill you of orders and promise you rewards
Like busting up family by sending you abroad
A in Germany or Iceland or Hong Kong
Making money useless well it seems it can't go wrong
But it's off to Northern Ireland where you'll practice what they preached
shoot to keep yourself alive and kill to keep the peace
And it won't be so much fun as you hear the wounded crying
Cos before they couldn't english and you didn't know what they were saying
But when the children you "Bastard" it will make you think again
When you cannot tell the difference animals and men

Animals don't wear uniforms but kill as much as you
But the kills for money and animals kill for food
the basest degredation in the name of what is right
Become something you were and regret it til you die

Cos your father will you "Sonny, you must do as you are told"
And you'll say the same thing to your kids when 32 years old
And unless you can react against the from the start
Your government will your mind and your mind will rule your heart
conform to every social law and be the system's slave
From birth to school to to death, from the cradle to the grave.....
