All You Had To Do

You came all the way over here to start a new life

The government changed the laws, so I made you my wife

You had so much hidden talent waiting to detonate

But instead of having fun with me you sealed your own fate

I’m a man who always has a plan and makes two ends meet

And all you had to do was shake a tambourine

Shake that tambourine yeah just shake that tambourine

It’s one way we’ll survive coz your options are so lean

Shake that tambourine yeah just shake that tambourine

You are gonna shine on stage and we’ll live out our dream

All you had to do was shake that tambourine

They came all the way over here to upgrade their skills

By learning our lingo to earn more to pay their bills

But soon it became clear they ain't here to make new friends

Their word count is ludicrous their babble never ends

But instead of cooperating and developing a rapport

No you decided to start a fucking civil war

And all you had to do was shut the fucking door!

Shut the fucking door yeah shut the fucking door

No need to take offence or start a civil war

Just shut the fucking door please just shut the fucking door

See the frames are lined with foam so I don’t have to hear you no more

One simple solution yeah just shut the fucking door

I’m trying to keep the peace, but you insist on being mean

I apply logic for a living if you failed to study my history
