Oh Ma I had a hard day at school The teacher yelled and she called me a fool The noise in the classroom was driving me wild My head is spinning it’s too much for a child. Well, try these pills they’ll make you feel better Lie down and take off your sweater The effect they have is a little strange But I can assure you it’s a pleasant change. Get ‘em in the habit as soon as you can Bait ‘em like a rabbit that’s part of the plan Gotta have a vice to be controlled So don’t think twice just do as you’re told… Do as you’re told… do as you’re told! Hey Dad you look good behind the bar The guests will probably wonder who you are Say, by the way, what do ya think Is there a chance I could get a real drink? Well, I don’t know - you’re still a little young But what the heck - come on - have some It’s really only just a little taste Learning how to drink is never a waste. Get ‘em in the habit as soon as you can Bait ‘em like a rabbit that’s part of the plan Gotta have a vice to be controlled So don’t think twice just do as you’re told… Do as you’re told… do as you’re told! [Lead break] Behind the glass The masters wait They seal the deal They set the bait. It’s not just drink It’s not just pills It’s the way they process All our wills. Get ‘em in the habit as soon as you can Bait ‘em like a rabbit that’s part of the plan Gotta have a vice to be controlled So don’t think twice just do as you’re told… Do as you’re told… do as you’re told! Get ‘em in the habit as soon as you can Bait ‘em like a rabbit that’s part of the plan Gotta have a vice to be controlled So don’t think twice just do as you’re told… Do as you’re told… do as you’re told!
