Things They Hold So Dear Lyrics by David and The Citizens
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
They talk about nothing in here
they talk about nothing all the time
and they tell you how you should work and they
tell you how you should act
but it doesn't count
it doesn't count

Fly over their heads and out of here
passing all things they hold so dear
while they keep talking
while they're all speaking
but I can't hear
'cos I don't care

I'm only bothered by the fact that they're all so pretty

And if the apple falls close to the tree
what does it really mean to me?
am I gonna fall
am I gonna go just like you did?
They talk about nothing in here   they talk about nothing all the time   and they tell you how you should work and they   tell you how you should act   but it doesn't count   it doesn't count      Fly over their heads and out of here   passing all things they hold so dear   while they keep talking   while they're all speaking   but I can't hear   'cos I don't care      I'm only bothered by the fact that they're all so pretty      And if the apple falls close to the tree   what does it really mean to me?   am I gonna fall   am I gonna go just like you did?
