Greg! The Stop Sign!! lyrics

[Verse 1: Ron Hitler-Barassi]
The guy who slagged the football team; those yobs were not for him
He turns into a real estate agent who believes in discipline
The guy who's first to use cocaine, the wild boy breaking free
He'll end up in a court of law as a prosecuting QC
Remember the school captain? Success was a matter of time
I can hear her now as she screams "Greg, you missed the stop sign!"

[Verse 2: Ron Hitler-Barassi]
Forget Snoop Doggy Dogg, forget old Ice T
The true word out on the streets is produced by the TAC
What's the use of striving? Life's road in front unravels
We get to do the driving, don't choose the direction we travel
Do your homework or wag for weeks, graffiti the Dandenong line
It don't matter much when you hear that scream
"Greg, you missed the stop sign!"

[Chorus]
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!

[Verse 3: Ron Hitler-Barassi]
Sometime in the next ten thousand years, a comet's gonna wipe out all trace of man
I'm banking on it coming before my end-of-year exams
The rich kid becomes a junkie, the poor kid an advertiser
What a tragic waste of potential (Being a junkie's not so good either)
Your folks worked hard for what you've got
You are the fruit of their vine
But who cares what you sow when what you reap is
"Greg, you missed the stop sign!"
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4: Humphrey B. Flaubert]
Bought a car just the other day
Man, could that baby run
But you know what they always say
There's always a better one
Got a tumour in my brain
It's creeping to my lungs
And I've searched around in vain
Can't find me a better one

[Verse 5: Ron Hitler-Barassi]
Hardwired into everyone's head is the person they're going to be
Growing up's not a matter of choice, it's a matter of wait and see
So kids, yeah, you can do it, you can be your best
Girls can do anything, you can pass the test
I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay, we're fine
I thought I heard a semi-trailer
"Greg, you missed the stop sign!"

[Chorus]
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
Greg! The stop sign!
