[Verse 1]
Well, you say you've got everything you wanted
All your beds are full and your houses are haunted
Everything you want, well, you got it on credit
Well, there's nothing we can think that you haven't just said it
But something tells me everything's gonna change
Oh, when your shares hit low and the world starts to rearrange

[Chorus]
And when it does I know that
You won't be where it's at
You better learn
The facts of life
The facts of life
The facts of life

[Verse 2]
I guess that no one ever took you aside
And pointed out the difference between black and white
Now it seems that job has fallen to me
Which is kinda strange if you consider who you wanna be

[Chorus]
I guess you don't know
How low you'll have to go
To realise
The facts of life
The facts of life
The facts of life
[Bridge]
You're too old to learn your ABCs
And it's much more sinister than the birds and the bees
You know I told you it was, didn't I?
Take it away

[Verse 3]
So now you're dead buried and neglected
Oh, and you're learning much more than you ever expected
No one can explain that heart attack
Everyone's bringing up baby behind your back

[Chorus]
Bet you wish you'd listened close
Instead of taking an overdose
Bet you wish you knew
The facts of life
The facts of life
The facts of life

[Outro]
The facts of life
The facts of life
The facts of life
