As You Make Your Bed

Lyrics
Good people, my own mother tagged With a very unbecoming name I'd end up on a slab of marble Or living in a house of shame Indeed, that'd been easy for her to say But believe me, things won't end that way You can't do that kind of thing to me My future remains for us to see A man is no beast... We all make the bed we must lie in And tuck ourselves in two-and-two And if somebody kicks, that will be me, dear And if someone gets kicked, that will be you We all make the bed we must lie in And tuck ourselves in two-and-two And if somebody kicks, that will be me, dear And if someone gets kicked, that will be you Good people, my lover once informed me She told me directly to my face That love was the only thing that mattered That sweating tomorrow is a waste Indeed, love's an easy word to say But as you go on aging every day You just don't give a damn for all that rot You hustle for the little time you've got A man is no beast... We all make the bed we must lie in And tuck ourselves in two-and-two And if somebody kicks, that will be me, dear And if someone gets kicked, that will be you
