I hear they're trying to make us all the same 
It's mind control by any other name 
Who's gonna pay the price 
For this foolish paradise 
Oh…Momma don't take that train 

I hear it said we're headed too far south 
Chinese whispers go by word of mouth 
Rules for every size and shape 
The nag has gone, shut the gate 
Once you're in you're never getting out 

I'm so misunderstood 
There goes my manlihood 
She's in my face again 
With that picture of innocence 

No drinks, No smokes 
No dicking around 
No dirty jokes 
Straight lace, straight face 
The old straight jacket 
We got no hope 

I hear they're gonna try out something new 
I can feel it sticking to my shoe 
So this is what tomorrow holds 
Hopes and dreams are bought and sold 
But still the world is misty green and blue 

I', so misunderstood 
There goes my mannish boyhood 
She's in my face again 
With that picture of innocence 

No deals, No strokes 
No forbidden fruit 
No holy smoke 
What next, no sex 
That's the end of the road 
That's the end of the road 
We got no hope 

No drinks, No smokes 
No dicking around 
No dirty jokes 
Straight lace, straight face 
The old straight jacket 
We got no hope 

No deals, No strokes 
No forbidden fruit 
No holy smoke 
What next, no sex 
That's the end of the road 
We got no hope
