Wearing a Fig Leaf

I go to bed by nine
I get up by five
Don't do much
But I think I am alive

I do as I am told
Never go against the flow
Better to blend in
Before you start let it end

Save a penny by spending a dime
Hurry it up to save some time
Being blue living green
Hoarding junk having nothing

Loose women and original sin
Adam knew where Eve had been
Tired of pretending not to know
Wearing a fig leaf let's it all show
