Sheltered Life - The Velvet Underground

Never been to london, never been to france

Never was sorry never learned to dance

Never walked down to 42nd street and frairs

Never smoked any filtered air

Guess its true what all the people say

Gonna have to mend my old time ways, yeah

I guess its true, guess, Ive lived a sheltered life

Never walked about on the streets at night

Never got into an uptown fight

Never smoked a hookah, never saw a rug

Couldnt even squash a beetle bug

Guess its true Im gonna have to change my ways

Guess its true what all the people say, yeah

I know its true, guess, Ive lived a sheltered life

Never went to parties in a chauffeured car

Never wore a top hat cause I wont get far

Never learned to handle all the things that Ive seen

Maybe Ill grow up to be big and mean

Guess its true what all the people say

Gonna have to change my old fashioned ways, well

I guess its true, guess, Ive lived a sheltered life
