Nobody likes a wagging finger
Nobody likes to think that its them
Everyone just keeps their nose clean
Here in downtown Bethlehem
Eyes front, head down and you'll be Okay
Just look, just look and then look away.
Just look, just look and then look away.
Nobody pays to hear a lecture
Not when the world's an open book
You're free to squirm in any direction
As long as someone's on that hook
Small leap, long fall in this sad ballet
Just look, just look and then look away
Just look, just look and then look away.
Look away from the man who can't pay his way
You keep wishing that the clock would spin round
Somebody's screaming on your mobile and you say
You'll never ever get used to that sound
But you will, you will, you will get used to that sound - someday.
Trust me - we can get used to anything.
Nobody wants to miss the last bus
Somebody has to jump the queue
Shield your eyes but read the faces
You know they'd do the same to you.
First come, first served, it may you be you one day
Just look, just look and then look away
Just look, just look and then look away
....
Keep your head down,
Keep your nose clean,
Keep your eyes front,
Keep your arms crossed,
Keep your chin up,
Keep your mouth shut,
Keep your tongue tied,
Keep your hands off,
Keep your foot down,
Keep your hair on,
Keep your lip stiff,
Keep your arms crossed,
Keep your chin up,
Keep your mouth shut.
You can get used to anything
