Do What You're Told To

Graham Coxon

Living with your battered head in a can

Hearing all the voices of a mean old man

Illness and aggression knocking at your door

Gonna nail your body to the bathroom floor



Dying in the river of your teenage plan

Giving all your beauty to the yeah yeah man

Tell you what you want are the things you need know no more

Gonna show you what your brains are really for



Even though you're pretty you're lookin' pretty shitty

Even though you're pretty you're lookin' pretty shitty



You're lying and you're dying and you scream and shout

But you can never seem to get the sickness out

The madness and the sadness and the suicide

Breaking up the places where you run and hide



You're smelling and you're selling your last pair of shoes

To keep beside the madness of a glass of booze

(All this/Oddness) and aggression gonna kill you dead

You made yourself a coffin out of your own bed



Even though you're pretty you're lookin' pretty shitty

Even though you're pretty you're lookin' pretty shitty

Why don't you do what you?re sold to?



Even though you're pretty you're lookin' pretty shitty

Even though you're pretty you're lookin' pretty shitty

Why don't you do what you're told to?



Living with your battered head in a can

Hearing all the voices of a mean old man

Illness and aggression knocking at your door

Gonna nail your body to the bathroom floor



Even though you're pretty you're lookin' pretty shitty

Even though you're pretty you're lookin' pretty shitty

Why don't you do what you're told to?
