Around You
Enrico Rosenbaum
I've been told do all you can
Even though I've no reason to
I've heard said to be a man
There are certain things you must do
Learn the teachings of the old
Do only what you're told
Don't have a mind of your own
Be a fool you should do as I say
But not as I do
So the world keep going round
Let nothing upset the way everything's been going down
Around you, around you
These are things you're taught in youth
Which too often stay with you
Now it's time you learned the truth
Everything's coming down on you
Is the future for the old
Can you turn flesh to gold
