Velvet Underground - Sheltered Life lyrics

Never been to londonnever 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 waysyeah

I guess it's trueguessI've lived a sheltered life

Never walked about on the streets at night

Never got into an uptown fight

Never smoked a hookahnever 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 sayyeah

I know it's trueguessI'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 wayswell

I guess it's trueguessI've lived a sheltered life
