Snap crackle pop it's nine o' clock  
Radio's tuned to John  
It's a Lemon Liquid Love affair  
Another perfect day begun  
Valium dulls the memory  
Of lifetimes long ago  
She never dreamt she'd just be meant  
To cook and wash and sew  
 
How did it ever come to this  
It's not the life I choose  
Mindless repetition  
Round and round we go, oh no...  
 
Tick tock it's three o' clock  
Washing on the line  
Cancel the hairdresser  
She hasn't got the time  
Hello kids, how was school  
Was everything OK  
Got stoned on history  
Just another boring day  
 
How did it ever come to this  
It's not the life I choose  
Mindless repetition  
Round and round we go, oh no...  
 
Tick tock it's six o' clock  
Dinner's on the plate  
Hubby's on the phone D.U.I.  
Sorry honey I'll be late  
Throughout the course of history  
Roles have never changed  
But something better happen  
Before we all get too estranged
