Luyện nghe bài hát From The Cradle To The Grave

Well they took you from mother's womb and put you in a school
Told you how to run life by following the rules
Told you not to your nose or disrespect the queen
Scrub your teeth times a day keep mind and body clean
up all your pocket money, nothing is for free
And you'd better your parents cos there's no one else you see
And then they send you off each day remember what you're
"You may you don't need 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 through them they they'd never win

So they channel your 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 you're lazy
put you down and wind you up until it drives you crazy

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

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

learn that 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 will
And unless you can reject them you'll have your mind at

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 he cares about is getting to the top
By you with empty words that promise you a lot
But the end is slavery to a false set of ideals
You'll be tempted to believe cos they'll seem so very real
The slavery of attitudes that make you in line
devoted to the morals of our time

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

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

They'll promise you absolution from the murders you'll
In the name of god and country they can get away it
They fill you full of orders and promise you
Like up your family by sending you abroad
A holiday in Germany or 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
You'll shoot to keep yourself and kill to keep the peace
And then it be so much fun as you hear the wounded crying
Cos they 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 tell the difference between and men

Animals don't wear uniforms but they as much as you
But the army kills for money and animals for food
It's the basest in the name of what is right
Become something you 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 thing to your kids when you're 32 years old
And unless you can react the brainwash from the start
Your government will rule your mind and your mind will your heart
You'll conform to every social law and be the system's
From birth to school to to death, from the cradle to the grave.....
