Well you say you've got everything you wanted   All your beds are full and your houses are haunted   And everything you need, well you got it on credit   There's nothing we can think and you haven't said it   But something tells me that everything is gonna change   When your shares hit low and the world starts to rearrange   And when it does I know that   You won't be where it's at   You better learn   The facts of life      I guess that no-one ever took you aside   And pointed out the difference between black and white   And now it seems that role has fallen to me   Which is kinds strange when you consider who you wanna be   And you come you don't know   How low you'll have to go   To realise the facts of life         You're too old to learn your abcs   And it's much more sinister than the birds and the bees   You know I told you it was, didn't i?          So now you're dead buried and neglected   And you're learning much more than you ever expected   No-one can explain your heart attack   Now everyone's bringing up baby behind your back   Bet you wish you'd listened close   Instead of taking an overdose   Bet you wish you knew   The facts of life   The facts of life
