Behave Yourself Lyrics

The sun beats down on the wills of the oppressors
They never learn, they just keep you under thumb

And you behave yourself
They say if you want to go out late tomorrow
Don't go out tonight until your homework's done

And you behave yourself

When you behave yourself the day seems so much longer
Don't behave yourself it won't do you any good
When you behave yourself you don't get up much stronger
Don't behave yourself I know you'd break out if you could

Now the people that seem to rule your lives forever will one day be gone,
So you had better be prepared
And you behave yourself

You may wake up one bright and sunny morning
And you will have found that it's caught you unawares

And you behave yourself

When you behave yourself it get so b***** boring
Don't behave yourself it will drive you round the twist
When you behave yourself you spend the whole day snoring
Don't behave yourself and you'll have better times than this
So the sun beats down on the wills of the oppressors
But they never learn, they just keep you on the run

And you behave yourself

And all the time you sit around stagnating
You could be outside and having better fun

Don't you behave yourself

But when you behave yourself you only live in sorrow
Don't behave yourself it'll only bring you down
When you behave yourself you're waiting for tomorrow
Don't behave yourself and tonight we take the town.
