Lyrics
Hold your Hands up!
It’s Time to be alive, try the next Shoe Size up
Hold your Hands up! I want to see those Palms
It might cause some Alarm but hold em up, yeah!
Hold your Hands up!
It wasn’t me’s a Philosophy that is completely bankrupt
Come on, hold your Hands up! Hold your hands up!
Hold your Hands, hold your Hands, hold you Hands up!
I wasn’t born to be Bart Simpson. You can’t stay eleven forever
Now, past Infancy I learnt my Lessons at leisure
Through my Quests and Endeavours, different Impressions of Pleasure
Were so often deceptive, led to Confessions of Error
Now, I reckon I’m cleverer, not wise as an Emperor
But I’m definitely better equipped: a richer Adventurer
So Onwards and Upwards cos I can take my own Temperature
And make my own Bed though lying in it could be simpler
But that’s on my own Head, sometimes I wish for the old Homestead
When the Bills read Code Red and the Phone’s dead,
cant find the Loo Rolls or the Clothes Pegs
And my old Friends… most still just chill out having a Reefer.
I’ll leave all that Stuff for Millhouse, Maggie and Lisa
And live my Life in three Dimensions
I’m a grown Man, don’t need to wait till I receive my Pension
To take Responsibility on the Chin and stop fondling
those childish Dreams of Sleepovers and Sponsored Swims
Record buying Binges and posturing
I’m past that whole Beer Monster Thing, nowadays I want to fling
in my Lot with the Nuclear Power Station Technicians
And act as if Life and Death rests on my Decisions
Although Nothing happens without the Manager’s Permission
I’ll hold my Hands up
I wasn’t born to be Bart Simpson
Hold your Hands up!
It’s Time to be alive, try the next Shoe Size up
Hold your Hands up! I want to see those Palms
It might cause some Alarm but hold em up, yeah!
Hold your Hands up!
It wasn’t me’s a Philosophy that is completely bankrupt
Come on, hold your Hands up! Hold your hands up!
Hold your Hands, hold your Hands, hold you Hands up!
Too many B-Boys, want to turn them to the Amen
Perhaps someone should come and steal the Toys from your Playpen
I mean, we all just want to act cool and make Friends
But at the Day's end, our Head's still in the Clouds with the Spacemen
Those Great Men who slay Dragons, the Pirates, the Galleons
The Cowboys shooting Caps from their shiny, silver Handguns
When do I get some live Ammo? First, finish that Jam Sandwich!
We’re old enough to make Babies but not to have Kids
What do you want to be when you grow up? Man, I’m already there
That thought for many makes them fall into Despair
Go back, crawl into their Lair, The Den they made
At age ten, to get away, with Mags open to the centre Page
But those Heroes never grew up either
You’ve got to set your Sights somewhere to be an Underachiever
But there’s no Hunger to leave the Life of follow the Leader
But Sleeping Lions is meant to end when your Mum comes to meet ya
Okay, yeah, you’re out
Nah, look at his chest, up and down, I think he’s breathing
It’s Time to realise that you’re alive for a Reason
You won’t find out what it is while you’re lying there sleeping
So stop your crying and bleating, come on, rise to your Feet and
Get up, dive in the Deep End, Time to be finding your Meaning
We can all yap about how we’re fighting for Freedom
With our Feet up, surfing Channels every Night and all Weekend
'It wasn’t me' is the Slogan- don’t you get tired of repeating?
And if anyone disagrees, then they’re in line for a Beating!
Put your fists down, want to see those Hands rise to the Ceiling. Come on!
Hold your Hands up! You might just find it appealing
Hold your Hands up! Wanna see those Hands in the Air
Hold your Hands up like you care!
Hold your Hands up!
It’s Time to be alive, try the next Shoe Size up
Hold your Hands up! I want to see those Palms
It might cause some Alarm but hold em up, yeah!
Hold your Hands up!
It wasn’t me’s a Philosophy that is completely bankrupt
Come on, hold your Hands up! Hold your hands up!
Hold your Hands, hold your Hands, hold you Hands up!
