In It for the Children by Uncle Bonsai Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes at night
We almost speak
We almost speak
In friendly terms
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
We go to sleep
We go to sleep
In separate beds
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
[Pre-Chorus]
We take our places at the table
In the morning with the family
And our faces are as innocent as lambs
[Verse 2]
Sometimes at night
When no one's there
When no one's there
We lose our minds
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
[Pre-Chorus]
We leave our problems in the bedroom
At the office when the family's gone
And our obligations lead us to the grave
[Chorus]
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
[Verse 3]
Sometimes at night
We speak our minds
We speak our minds
And no one hears
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
We watch the tube
We watch the tube
And curse our fate
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
[Pre-Chorus]
We never give into temptation
Never striking when the family's there
'Cause we live in constant fear that we'll be seen
[Chorus]
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
[Bridge]
We'll take the family on vacations
When we think we need a change
And we'll cease the accusations with a smile
There'll reconciliation
When the kids are out of range
And we'll lose the affectations for a while
[Verse 4]
Sometimes at night
We grit our teeth
We grit our teeth
And try to dream
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
We spare the rod
We spare the rod
To spoil our lives
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
[Pre-Chorus]
We know exactly what we're doing
And we'll hide it from the family fair
And we'll act like nothing's wrong until they're gone
[Chorus]
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
Sometimes at night
We almost speak
We almost speak
In friendly terms
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
We go to sleep
We go to sleep
In separate beds
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
[Pre-Chorus]
We take our places at the table
In the morning with the family
And our faces are as innocent as lambs
[Verse 2]
Sometimes at night
When no one's there
When no one's there
We lose our minds
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
[Pre-Chorus]
We leave our problems in the bedroom
At the office when the family's gone
And our obligations lead us to the grave
[Chorus]
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
[Verse 3]
Sometimes at night
We speak our minds
We speak our minds
And no one hears
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
We watch the tube
We watch the tube
And curse our fate
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
[Pre-Chorus]
We never give into temptation
Never striking when the family's there
'Cause we live in constant fear that we'll be seen
[Chorus]
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
[Bridge]
We'll take the family on vacations
When we think we need a change
And we'll cease the accusations with a smile
There'll reconciliation
When the kids are out of range
And we'll lose the affectations for a while
[Verse 4]
Sometimes at night
We grit our teeth
We grit our teeth
And try to dream
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
We spare the rod
We spare the rod
To spoil our lives
Sometimes at night
Sometimes at night
[Pre-Chorus]
We know exactly what we're doing
And we'll hide it from the family fair
And we'll act like nothing's wrong until they're gone
[Chorus]
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
We're only in it
We're only in it
We're only in it
For the children
