Everybody's telling me to listen up
They're trying to run my life for me
I'm gonna tell I'll tell 'em
Their term's up
They've just given me their
Last orders
Last orders
Last orders
Last orders
Everyone's in prison or in the army
All sincere, all phoney
Reading all the books, taking in the news
They've just given me their
Last orders
Last orders
Last orders
Last orders
I don't dig their dead-end options
I'm not hurt by their rejections
I'm no sell-out, and they've found out
They've just given me their
Last orders
Last orders
Last orders
Last orders
Everybody's telling me to listen up
They're trying to write my life story
Joke's on them
It's the end of the rap
They've just given me their
Last orders
Last orders
Last orders
Last orders
They're trying to run my life for me
I'm gonna tell I'll tell 'em
Their term's up
They've just given me their
Last orders

All sincere, all phoney
Reading all the books, taking in the news
They've just given me their

Scritta da Tony Friel
Outtake dell’album d’esordio della celebre band post punk inglese, intitolato “Live at the Witch Trials”, 1979
Testo e nota tratti da The Annotated Fall
“Apparently the most straightforward lyrics Mark E. Smith ever wrote, which may be explained by the fact that Tony Friel wrote them. it could easily be by any punk band of the time. Nevertheless, it's a fun little song.”
