Recorded at either the college radio station WQHS or WXPN in the 80s
Track was copied from a tape or record
OP said the song might have been labeled "Risky Business This", but that likely refers to a previous song on the tape

Lyrics: (Transcribed by @usa070209 )
Scholastic apostate a popular figure
One reaching out for the nail on the lens
Fracture one shot for the man on the canvas
Why am I stuck in the middle?

When I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you'd just let me in
And I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you didn't

Time without meaning and fluff without moving
Lord I'm six if I could take anymore
Margarine on my knife, ole oh don't you know
Why does it dance on the griddle?

When I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you'd just let me in
And I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you didn't

Why does the hammer rotate this way not that way
Who left their lights on in the crossroads of life
If the whole thing collapsed while we were driving under
Would we be stuck in the middle?

Oh, I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you'd just let me in
Oh I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you didn't
