Intro (x2)
verse 1
You re asking me, "what s it leading to?
Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?"
No point asking me because I haven t got a clue
You re asking me, "will it be alright?"
If you re asking me don t take my advice
And don t make me responsible for you living your life
verse 2
You re asking me, "will it be alright?"
Because I ve been around, I have the insight
And I was there the first time so I must know what it s like
If you re asking me, don t take my advice
Bridge
Do we learn from all the questions that we ask
Do we listen to the past, we never do
It s up to you to go and make your own mistakes
Have a go and break a leg
But please don t come home crying when you do
verse 3
You re asking me, don t take my advice
Because I ve been there before doesn t come to pass
That I have all the answers to the questions that you ask
I m telling you because you re asking me
Solo
Bridge
Anyway, what am I supposed to say
Could say everything is really brilliant
Anything to make your worries disappear
Put your conscience in the clear
And make you think there s nothing left to fear
verse 4
You re asking me, "what s it leading to?
Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?"
No point asking me because I wasn t even there
Chorus
First time around it was really grand
But inside something said to me go get a life, get a life
Now that I m here I can t understand
Why anyone is asking me, if I could give a damn
I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry
I could just as easily go tell a lie, couldn t I?
Then what would come after, that would be unwise
If that s what you really want then get a life, get a life, get a life
Outro
If you re asking me, don t take my advice
