I used to hurt myself, occasionally cry It was tough but you needed to get by Oh dear me that's how it went And everything was as it was meant So now we have to stop for someone else's thinking It all moves on as quick as you find me blinking Because they know much more than you and me So what is it they're seeing that I don't see? Seems you have to have it all laid on a plate Has everything you do been so difficult of late? There's no chance of a quick escape Because it's all been complicated by the nanny state Seems you didn't like it when it all was great Tell me what it was that you decided to hate Looks as though you didn't even want to wait To turn this world into a nanny state I've scaled some dizzy heights but no one ever cared Oh dear me, but everything's been fine Don't you see we were living another time I've seen some lovely sights Where I've stopped and stared One two three it's sad but true And don't blame me But it's now in everything we do Seems you have to have it all laid on a plate Has everything you do been so difficult of late? There's no chance of a quick escape Because it's all been complicated by the nanny state Seems you didn't like it when it all was great Tell me what it was that you decided to hate Looks as though you didn't even want to wait To turn this world into a nanny state A to B goes via C, but that's if you're in luck Otherwise it's F or G, and then it all gets stuck Please don't run your show by me, as if you'd get my blessing Find yourself another world in which to keep your mess in Ashamed to show your face you hide behind your bendy rules The all-important question, are you allowed to use those tools? No one in this place wants to stand and watch you bleed So have you got the paperwork that no one else will read Seems you have to have it all laid on a plate Has everything you do been so difficult of late? There's no chance of a quick escape Because it's all been complicated by the nanny state Seems you didn't like it when it all was great Tell me what it was that you decided to hate Looks as though you didn't even want to wait To turn this world into a nanny state
