What Can You Do? Lyrics

I live in this world

And do what I'm told

But don't get anywhere

Cause the world is a place

That lies to your face

Then turns its back when your old

And yet we still try

To live before we die

While time closes in

Its really all for not

Cause in the end what have you got

You've worked away all your dreams

When the world's against you

There's not much you can do

When the world lies to you

There's not much you can do

Sometimes we mess up

And times they get tough

That's how a good man can fall

The world is a place

That thrives on mistakes

And its waiting for you

And if you do fail

You may end up in jail

And they take you away

And if you succeed

And beat the machine

Society turns on you

When the world's against you

There's not much you can do

When the world lies to you

There's not much you can do

Look out for where you go

And be careful who you know

Its hard to find people to trust

The world is a place

Full of demons and snakes

And its coming for you

If you want to fit in

With society and its plans

You better forget who you are

Just get back to your job

And forget what you love

There's got to be something more

When the world's against you

There's not much you can do

And the sky may be blue

Still what can you do
