I will relay a message to you Straight from the heart directly to you Turn on your radios and pick up the noise There's rules with reason And who's to disagree No talk of treason In our history Daddy's a parasite Either is most boys No sense in getting pissed If you can't take a risk Go play on a less active railroad Go play on a less active railroad No well kept secret What you must do No feasible escape root for you Now you know you're on your way Room you with baseball Lets you watch TV Taught you survival but nothing comes free Only a matter of time before we have to pay No sense in getting pissed If you can't take a risk Go play on a less active railroad Go play on a less active railroad
