There was once a boy, who got a boat He stroked the light of the shoes, in the town where he lived A big pupil and a wail and a sigh While everyone was somewhere else And there was no reason, and there was no blood The boy went home to his father and said, what should I do? His father said, how can it go, when you get a ring in your ear? And the town was no longer a playground, and the hole was no longer so big So the boy found a hammer, to build something bigger All my life, I've been beating you All my life, I've been beating you And the boy got close to a man, with a quiet voice And the man led his life, with a big why Why should I have my face dotted? Why was it something I said? But there was no answer, so it just wasn't up All my life, I've been beating you All my life, I've been beating you All my life, I've been beating you All my life, I've been beating you You shouldn't have done that All my life, I've been beating you All my life, I've been beating you All my life, I've been beating you Yeah © transcript Emily Beynon
