[Verse 1]
Mum said, "Skag, Fred? Of course, try horse"
But Fred shook head, wet eyed, replied
"Mother; rather clean room, sweep broom, pass test, do best"
"Oh, son, no fun, here's crack, try smack; homework's for jerks"
"But mum, listen, one day, straight A's I'll get; effort, damn it's worth it"
"Bullshit, I knit booties, nappies, I fold; I hold you tight at night"

[Verse 2]
"Now you think you know all! Gone all 'straight guy'!
Where'd I go wrong? Have bong, syringe; don't whinge
No sums; no son of mine can't find mainline
Sink scoob, miss food, skip school, break rule
Paint train, kill brain; here Fred, acid
Drop it, stop it, this bluff; straight stuff's a bore
No more, you'll part Mum's heart"

[Verse 3]
Fred spoke, "I'll toke; oh no, on no drug pipe tonight
No bong, it's wrong! Cocaine rots brain
Need rest, maths test Friday; good day"
So said son Fred, 'nuff said
Go to bed

[Verse 4]
Want to be in the avant garde
But I'll never do it, it's just too hard
I can wear the clothes like a pinehead
But when it's 10:30, I'm off to bed
[Chorus]
Go to bed, go to bed, go to bed, go to be-e-e-ed
Go to bed, go to bed, go to be-e-ed
Go to bed, go to bed, go to bed, go to be-e-e-ed
Go to bed, go to bed, go to be-e-ed

[Verse 5]
Weeknight discos, late night movies
Are indispensable to be called groovy
My friends, they go out at 11pm
I'm meant to be in bed an hour before then
Go to be-e-e-e-e-ed

[Verse 6]
They go to clubs, then they go beszerk
Well, I go to bed, then I go to work, yeah!
They look at me and shake their heads
Just like they did when their mum said

[Chorus]
Go to be-e-e-e-e-ed
Go to be-e-e-e-e-ed
Go to be-e-e-e-e-ed
Go to bed

[Bridge]
Bed, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed
Bed, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed
[Verse 7]
Some pigs came 'round to my place
With their helicopters and their SWAT hats
The pigs came 'round, they said
"We know you've been doing some of the H, boy
We know you've been doing some of the H"
I said, "I've not been doing H, I've not been doing H, pig
I've got some skag here"
They said, "That's not what we're talking about, boy"
I said, "I've got some cocaine here"
And they said, "No, boy, no, boy"
I said, "I've got some horse here"
And they said ,"No, boy, that's not what you've been doing
You've been doing some of the homework, some of the hardcore homework
Look at your pupils boy, all distended with homework
Look at those hardcore homework eyes"

[Verse 8]
And they looked under my bed and they found my algebra book
And they looked on top of my cupboard
And they found my English grammar book
And they said to me, "You've been doing that homework, boy"
And I said, "I'm dying, pig, I'm, I'm dying"
They said to me, "You're gone boy
You're dying, you're dying"
[Outro]
I wanna go to bed
I wanna go to bed
