Talking Heads - The Facts Of Life lyrics

rate me

Mon key see and mon key do

Ma king ba bies, ea ting food

Smel ly things, pu bic hair

Words of lo ve, in the air

Sparks fly, shoo ting out

Ma king sure that eve ry thing is wor king

I can't turn you down

We are pro grammed hap py lit tle chil dren

Mat ter o ver mind

We can not re sis so I won't fight it

Love is a ma chine

Love is a ma chine without a dri ver

The facts of life

The facts of life

A masterpiece

Biology

Smokey water

Air conditioned

Boys 'n' girls

And automation

Chromosomes

Designer jeans

Chimpanzees

And human beings

Machines of love

Machines of love

Strong in body, strong in mind

A love machine with the facts of life

The facts of life

The facts of life

So much sex 'n' violence

Must be a bad design

We're stupid to be fighting

Every night

The monsters we create

They welcome us aboard

The best in advertising

From coast to coast

The girls and boys combine

Like monkeys in the zoo

The clouds have silver linings

Looks pretty good

People fall in love like in fairy tales

I'm not sure I like, what they can do

I'm afraid that God has no master plan

He only takes -- what he can use

Factory life, ice cream & pie

Factory life

Someday we'll live on Venus

And men will walk on Mars

But we will still be monkeys

Down deep inside

If chimpanzees are smart

Then we will close our eyes

And let our instincts guide us

Oh oh oh oh no
