Regular People - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

The children never talk, we finally shut them up

Always talkin' over those they only should obey

They can't leave home too soon, we lock them up in their room

So they can think it over every time they misbehave

But some things shouldn't have to change

It's how we both were raised

It's how regular people are made

We might be all the same

But you'll be better off this way

Ah-ah

The children think too much, they've hardly a fear of God

Always askin' questions they should only wish away

Sundays every week with Father Montgomery

As they've gotten older, they can hardly stay awake

But everybody has to pray

It's how we both were raised

It's how regular people are made

We might be all the same

But you'll be better off this way

I'm dyin' to meet you, as I really am

But trying to please you just fucks with my head

I've waited my whole life to welcome you in

You don't want to lie down, but you made the bed

Something's gonna have to change

It's how we both were raised

It's how regular people are made

We might be all the same

But you'll be better off this way

Ah-ah

The children never call, how could they cut us off?

Guess that's twenty years we should've never gave away

People shouldn't have to change

Thank you very much
