Just Another Story (LP版) - Phil Collins (菲尔·柯林斯)

Father comes home 'cos his money's run out

Seems a little loose tonight

He starts to shout

Dinner's not on the table

Seems mother's not able

She's staring at the TV

You can smell it on his breath

Feel it in his touch

He never meant to hit her hard

But he's like that when he's had too much

Just another story about going too far

Just another story about going too far

Well the kid's at school

She's getting good grades

But the peer pressure's starting now

Too bad she had it made

Seems there's always someone trying to push you to do something

You know ain't the way they told you to

It's hard to see

And the things you taught her how to be

It's like you told her nothing

Selective memory

Come on just try it it's only a smoke

Ain't gonna kill you so she takes a toke

Fade to gray

Just another story about going too far

Just another story about going too far

Well the guys at work seemed okay

They'd buy you a drink and get you laid

What's wrong with that

Why'd they have more money than you

Expensive cars and expensive clothes

Do you ever think of what they do

At night they're out shakin' people down

When they're walking together seems they own the town

But hey who's gonna talk you are their alibi

Don't turn around don't ask questions just walk

It's just another story about going too far

It's just another story about going too far

Just another story about going too far

Just another story about going too far
