Never Bite The Hand That Feeds - The Boomtown Rats

Never Bite The Hand That Feeds - The Boomtown Rats
Written by：Bob Geldof
Tell me what you're doing coming in
So late at night
I wanna know
You say you're going out with childhood friends
From way back when
Where do you go
Tell us what you want
We'll give you what you need
Just show respect for your daddy little girl
You know you never bite the hand that feeds
Your mother's driven up the walls
You make too many calls
Who do you phone
You use this place like some hotel
You want something you ring the bell
That's wrong
So tell us what you want we'll give you what you need
Just show some love for your mother daughter dear
You know you never bite the hand that feeds
I don't know what went wrong
I couldn't understand
You grew up much too fast for me
I wish it was before like back when you were four
I had you on my knee
And I told you lots of pretty things
Familial attention can't be bought like other toys
It can't be sold
And even if it could it wouldn't do you any good
You ought to know
I'll tell you what I want I'll tell you what I need
I just need some money from my parents daddy dear
And I'm going to bite your hand 'til it bleeds
I don't know what went wrong
I couldn't understand
You grew up much too fast for me
I wish it was before like back when you were four
I had you on my knee and I told you lots of pretty things
With her friend Bill and on the pill
She took a smallish flat in Sandycove
He wheels and deals
She cooks the meals and soon it ended up just like before
Way back at home
He tells her what he wants he tells her what he needs
He says "just show respect for your man little girl"
"You know you never bite the hand that feeds"
