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
