Luyện nghe bài hát From The Cradle To The Grave

Well they took you from your mother's and put you in a school
Told you how to run your life by the rules
Told you not to pick your nose or disrespect the
Scrub your teeth three times a day mind and body clean
Save up all your pocket money, nothing is for
And you'd better trust your parents cos there's no one you see
And then send 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
praise you til you're happy then they'll fill you full of lies
Cos intelligence is threatening and is sin
If you could ever see them they know they'd never win

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

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

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

You'll learn bad men dress 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 made to fight
And the pictures on page 3 make everything alright

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

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

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

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

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

Animals don't wear but they kill as much as you
But the army kills for money and animals kill for
It's the basest degredation in the name of is right
something you never were and regret it til you die

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