Lyrics for Sheltered Life (Demo)

Never been to london, never been to france Never was sorry never learned to dance Never walked down to 42nd street and frairs Never smoked any filtered air Guess it's true what all the people say Gonna have to mend my old time ways, yeah I guess it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life Never walked about on the streets at night Never got into an uptown fight Never smoked a hookah, never saw a rug Couldn't even squash a beetle bug Guess it's true I'm gonna have to change my ways Guess it's true what all the people say, yeah I know it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life Never went to parties in a chauffeured car Never wore a top hat 'cause I won't get far Never learned to handle all the things that I've seen Maybe I'll grow up to be big and mean Guess it's true what all the people say Gonna have to change my old fashioned ways, well I guess it's true, guess, I've lived a sheltered life
