Luyện nghe bài hát From The Cradle To The Grave

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

And if you're too intelligent 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 see through them they know they'd never win

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

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

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

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

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

They'll give you a when you get to 18, too
The right to vote for someone else who says he 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 is slavery to a false set of ideals
You'll be tempted to believe them cos they'll seem so very
The slavery of attitudes that make you in line
Subconsciously devoted to the 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 don't you join the Be a man and not a fool
There's someone else to think for you just like there was at

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

Animals don't wear uniforms but they as much as you
But the army kills for money and animals kill for
the basest degredation in the name of what is right
Become 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 brainwash from the
Your government will rule your mind and your will rule your heart
You'll to every social law and be the system's slave
From birth to school to work to death, the cradle to the grave.....
