Lyrics for What Can You Do?

So you waste another day getting older and gray in the head And you're hearing lots of stories 'bout the happy times you have ahead There are other folks in power so you kick back and get farther behind And although the world rotates itself the only thing you twist is your mind You see, the world's falling apart at the rifts And surprisingly, the leaders can't make any sense of it You mean nothing to the world, we're all someone else's fool But oh, what can you do Yeah, you waste your time with losers if you get stuck in a rock-n-roll band Do you find it more rewarding to compete with morons throughout this land They seem to be in power so I'll kick back and get farther behind And I watch them as they fuck up every good thing on this earth with their minds You see, the world's falling apart at the rifts And surprisingly, the leaders can't make any sense of it You mean nothing to the world, we're all someone else's fool But oh, what can you do Yeah, you waste another day getting older and gray in the head And we're hearing lots of stories 'bout the happy times we have ahead The morons are in power so we kick back and get farther behind And we watch them as they fuck up every good thing on this earth with their minds You see, the world's falling apart at the rifts And surprisingly, the leaders can't make any sense of it We mean nothing to the world, merely someone else's fool But oh, what can you do I said oh, what can you do GO
