Greg The Stop Sign Lyrics

Greg The Stop Sign lyrics

The guy who slagged the football team -
 Those yobs were not for him
 Turns into a real estate agent
 Who believes in discipline;
 That guy who's the first to use cocaine,
 The wild boy breaking free,
 Ends up in a court of law
 As a prosecuting QC;
 Remember the school captain? -
 Success was a matter of time;
 I can hear her now as she screams,
 'Greg! You missed the stop sign!'
 Forget Snoop Doggy Dogg
 Forget ol' Ice T
 The true word out on the street
 Is produced by the TAC
 What good's the use of striving?
 As life's road in front unravels
 We get to do the driving
 But don't choose the direction we travel.
 Do your homework, or wag for weeks
 And graffiti the Dandenong line;
 It don't matter when you hear that scream:
 'Greg! You missed the stop sign!'
 Some time in the next hundred thousand years
 A comet's gonna wipe out all trace of Man -
 I'm banking on it coming before
 My end of year exam.
 The rich kid becomes a junkie
 The poor kid an advertiser
 What a tragic waste of potential -
 Being a junkie's not so good either.
 Your folks struggled hard for what you've got,
 You are the fruit of their vine;
 But who cares what you sow when what you reap
 Is: 'Greg! You missed the stop sign!'
 Bought a car just the other day
 Man could that baby run
 But you know what they always say:
 There's always a better one.
 Got a tumour in my brain
 Its creeping to my lungs
 And I've searched around in vain
 Can't find me a better one.
 Hardwired into everyone's head
 Is the person they're gonna be
 Growing up ain't a matter of choice
 It's a matter of wait and see.
 And so kids, yeah, you can do it!
 You can do your best
 Girls can do anything
 You can pass the test
 I'm OK, you're OK, We're all right, we're fine
 I thought I saw a semi-trailer
 Greg! You missed the stop sign!
