Sometimes they'll want to cut you down
Betta scratch that itch cos the time is now
They tell you that you gotta have a heart of steel
If you want to keep up can you afford to feel?
When the system's wrong you gotta tear it down let it fall to the sea bed like a rusty crown
To the stars in the moonbeams glare Shackles on your feet gonna disappear
Chorus
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Can't you see baby life's knocking right at your door
Oooh I just don't know for sure.
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Don't give up don't give up
Don't give up don't give up
Don't give up don't give up
Don't give up don't give up
She's got a talented face and a suitcase
Ain't got no desire to go no place
In her case she's got no desire with her hand in the flame say's she don't feel the fire
To the 'yes' in the evenings air demons in your head got to disappear
To the stars under the moon means glare
The Shackles on your meat will disappear
Chorus
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Can't you see baby life's knocking right at your door
She said, "Oooh I just don't know for sure"
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
