    Off the top of my head I can't think of one exactly on the nose for doing what you're told.

    Consider "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" from The Sound of Music or "You've Got to be Carefully Taught" from South Pacific. The first is "I'm mature an you're a kid, so listen to me" and the second is "Somebody has taught you your opinions, and it's on you to realize some of them are wrong."
