lyrics

La, la, la, la, la, la, laa.....

It's a university of life but leave it up to me.
And I'll simplify my orders if you'll listen to my lies.
It could be contribution based and that's nice so if you want me to,
I'll owe it to the people they've got miles and miles coins.


Because I love you and you love me too
But we don't get no choice It's a dream it's not a voice
So if you want me to, I'll be forever blue
I'm standing on my chair waving flags up in the air.

In the university of life there's perfect sympathy
What should be made to order has a casual supply.
You're never where you want to be but that's life
Enrol your destiny or stand up to the Dean hold a protest in between

And when your duty calls I will bless you all
With medals on my chest bravely sat behind my desk
And if you make it home to someone beautiful
I'm sure they'll make a fuss take the pressure off of us

La, la la, la, la ,la laa.....

And in the twilight years you'll drink the cheapest beers
And smoke a million fags picking nags out of the rags
And when you're feeling blue you'll eat your processed food
And race towards the grave with those pennies that you saved
In the university the university of life!

La, la, la, la, la, la, laa

It's a university a university of life!
