       Don't be a sham 
      
        
       Seeing the patterns on the paving stones 
      Makes me wanna shout: 
      Get out get out get  out! 
      Crazy, crazy, set in  stone, 
      Cracks appearing in  the known -  
      Take it from me its  not a cuppa tea, 
      You've gotta get a  handle on that old tv! 
      Record it, record  it, write it down - 
      You'll never be free  while sitting in a gown. 
      Dress up, dress up, get out in the world! 
      Have an adventure  give it a whirl, 
      Drive here, drive  there, meet a few folk, 
      Travel to the  highlands, take to the seas: 
      Life's an adventure - gotta have a wheeze! 
      Shout it, shout it,  "here I am!" 
      Gimme what you got  - don't be a sham.
