Lyrics

Good morning, Mr. Blue, we've got our eyes on you
The evidence is clear that you've been scheming
You'd like to steal away and while away the day
You'd like to spend an hour dreaming
What will it take to whip you into line?
A broken heart, a broken head
It can be arranged, it can be arranged, yeah yeah
Step softly, Mr. Blue, we know what's best for you
We know where your precious dreams will take you
You've got a slot to fill and fill that slot you will
You'll learn to love it or we'll break you
What will it take to whip you into line?
A broken heart, a broken head
It can be arranged, it can be arranged, yeah yeah
Be careful, Mr. Blue, this phase you're going through
Can lead you nowhere else but to disaster
Excuse us while we grin, you've worn our patience thin
It's time we showed you who is your master
What will it take to whip you into line?
A broken heart, a broken head
It can be arranged, it can be arranged, yeah yeah
Don't worry, Mr. Blue, we know what's good for you
Just think of it as sense and not surrender
But never think again that you can ever think again
Or you'll get something you'll remember
What will it take to whip you into line?
A broken heart, a broken head
It can be arranged, it can be arranged, yeah yeah
