The Nanny State |
No poker at the pub no ne'er
No mobile phone while driving there
And in our schools there is no prayer
Ban everything I do declare
There's so much danger please beware
Ban eating there's a cancer scare
Ban driving 'cause there's death out there
Ban marriage 'cause a love affair
Might end up in divorce, despair
Ban children 'cause they are born bare
And they cost too much in day care
Ban speaking 'cause someone might swear
Ban politicians everywhere
And ban the book of common prayer
Ban alcohol — wait we've been there
This banning is so much hot air
A nanny state I do declare
Is so oppressive and unfair
