Lyrics
Verse One
Act your age,
I thought you knew better than that.
Be a man,
I thought you had better breeding than that.
Pre-Chorus
And if you don't learn now,
You may never know.
And if you don't do it now,
You may never grow.
Chorus
Confused little boy,
Where's your mummy gone?
Do you think you're a star now little boy?
Daddy says you can do no wrong.
Confused little boy,
You know you've done something wrong.
Confused little boy,
Why don't you go bang your drum!
Verse Two
Praise your God,
I thought you was a prayin' man.
Tell your sins,
Now be a good boy if you can.
Bridge
Learn to admit it when you're wrong,
It's not that hard to do.
It doesn't really cost that much,
To follow the rules.
You've been playing silly games,
And making children cry.
You really should know better than that,
Now look me in the eye.
