Oh, welcome to this world of fools
Of pink champagne and swimming pools
Well, all you have to lose is your virginity
Perhaps we'll have some fun tonight so stick around and take a bite of life
We don't need feebleness in this proximity
Ask good MacDuff and Donalbain, so many good ideas are slain
By those who would dare not step out of line
But if I have my way tonight and chances are I think I might-
I'll turn those sour minds to grapes of wine
Welcome to this world
Don't judge the boy by what you hear
The words are heard beyond the ear
The heart and mind are focus for this conversation
But be abound in mystery for that so much you do to me
For there are those who drown in adulation
Welcome to this world
If I had a dime for each time that I heard them preach
Well I'd have wicked thoughts upon my brain
Of pink champagne and swimming pools
Well, all you have to lose is your virginity
Perhaps we'll have some fun tonight so stick around and take a bite of life
We don't need feebleness in this proximity
Ask good MacDuff and Donalbain, so many good ideas are slain
By those who would dare not step out of line
But if I have my way tonight and chances are I think I might-
I'll turn those sour minds to grapes of wine
Welcome to this world
Don't judge the boy by what you hear
The words are heard beyond the ear
The heart and mind are focus for this conversation
But be abound in mystery for that so much you do to me
For there are those who drown in adulation
Welcome to this world
If I had a dime for each time that I heard them preach
Well I'd have wicked thoughts upon my brain

One of my favourite Primus tunes, for sure.
My first ever comment on Songmeanings.net, go easy on me, I suck at pragmatics, just wanted to comment such an ace song.
"If I had a dime for each time that I had heard them preach,
well I'd have wicked thoughts upon my brain." meaning that he wants to go out and have fun but he knows its a sin...
but this is one of those primus songs that pretty much let you know if your a primus fan or not...either you like it or hate
