Formula Baby

I

Boy, aren’t you cute
Formula Baby
Playing with Nanny
Wanting and teething
Pleased that you’re with us
Formula Baby
Mummy will be home at six.

Just look at you
Formula Baby
Make no commitments
Life’s a big maybe
Where do you stand
Formula Baby
How can you stand to be you?

How does it feel
Formula Baby
Life without bonding
Sex without dating
I don’t know you
Formula Baby
And you don’t know dick about life.

II

Now you’re a man
Formula Baby
Fearing your children
Keeping them begging
Where are you now
Formula Baby
And how will you find your way home?

You’re getting older
Formula Baby
Life’s just a gesture
Still no sensation
Time’s running out for you
Formula Baby
When will you ever be free?

Sorry you’re dead
Formula Baby
Didn’t achieve much
Never stopped waiting
Sure we will miss you
Formula Baby
But life does go on doesn’t it.
