The sun beats down on the wills of the oppressors They never learn, they just keep you under thumb They say if you want to go out late tomorrow Don't go out tonight till your homework's done And you behave yourself When you behave yourself the day seems so much longer Don't behave yourself it won't do any good When you behave yourself you don't turn out any stronger Don't behave yourself I know you would break out if you could Now the people that seem to rule your lives forever will one day be gone, So you had better be prepared And you behave yourself You may wake up one bright and sunny morning And you will have found that it caught you unawares You behave yourself When you behave yourself it get so bloody boring Don't behave yourself it will drive you round the twist When you behave yourself you spend the whole day snoring Don't behave yourself and you'll have better fun than this So the sun beats down on the wills of the oppressors But they never learn, they just keep you on the run And you behave yourself And all the time you sit around stagnating You could be outside and having better fun Still you behave yourself When you behave yourself you're waiting for tomorrow Don't behave yourself it'll only bring you down When you behave yourself you spend the life in sorrow Don't behave yourself and tonight we'll take the town.
