I'd like to teach the world to sing And put an end to suffering if I could With the dedicated heart and soul Of Britain's greatest rock 'n' roll Robin Hood But your eyes are dim you cannot see Your middle name is misery And you'd like to teach the world to sing You're gonna get your head kicked in Don't lose your temper In the shopping center, son Just remember The young offender's mum All God's children snatch a handbag Spot the ball and match the grand dad To the pictures on the news Count the stitches on the bruise Lock your sons up with your daughters Stay at home, don't drink the water Intercept all interference And blame the parents But don't lose your temper In the shopping center, son Just remember The young offender's mum Down the front of the church For the second time in life love hurts This time there's no buttons and bows She's wearing non fast colored clothes The service seems to last for hours No one wants to catch the flowers On the shoulder of an older brother The young offender's mother Don't lose your temper In the shopping center, son Just remember The young offender's mum
