Safeway Holiday (Get Wise) Lyrics

Children, get wise to the ways of the world
Cast a dark eye as the sunshine spills
Cause if the girls don't get you
Then the government will...
The will
Let's say you had your fill
Of choking on the poison mills
Well you can...

Pack your bags we're all heading
For the gulf
Then we're gonna sit back
And watch the mainsail fill
And if your folks don't like it
You can send them the bill
You can send them the bill
And when you get back home
They'll be piled up on your window sill...

Man with a million people struggling just to get by
I'm gonna sell my stuff and kick it to a desert isle
I aim to leave this stinking city for a little while
I'll tell you why...
Because summer has arrived
Ain't gonna let it go by
So I headed off on my boat
With a compass in my hand
Off to play the coconuts in a Polynesian band
But when I pulled my vessel up onto the land,
I found a stinking Safeway carpark
Laid out on the sand

Children, get wise to the ways of the world
Retire young with your own gin still
Cause if the hate don't get you
Then the sentiment will...
