They Tell You

They tell you what to say.  They tell you what to wear.
They tell you where and when and why and how to cut your hair.
If you look fine, they tell you your lawn is a mess.
They tell you a whole lot of things, I guess.
They tell you where to go, and not to run.  Then the signs say "don't walk."
They tell you communication is crucial, but "Shh!  Be quiet!  Don't talk!"
This food will make you sick, they say.  That food will make you sicker.
I'd give up the whole lot of them, but they say that kills you quicker.
If you do what they say, there's no time left to smile or even get anything done,
So I think I'm just gonna do what I do, and do that until I am done.
