Lyrics Do We? We Do - Loudon Wainwright III

Do We? We Do

Do we ever want to take the low road?
Do we ever just want to say we’re through?
Do we want to lock the door and throw away the key?
Do we?
We do
Do we want to just look on the dark side?
Do we want to wallow in the mire?
Do we want to feel the world’s against us?
Do we?
Yes we do
Do we think it’s sometimes just a nuisance
And other times a travesty to all
Who’ve tried but only fallen to ruins
With their broken backs up against the wall
Do we want to say it’s just a fool’s game
That no one but the wickedest can win?
And do we want to play it with our last dime?
Oh do we?
We do
Do we wanna say that things are changing?
And they’re only changing for the worse?
And do we want to drink while the ship’s sinking?
Singing our lord’s praises like a curse
Do we want the enemy’s misfortunes
To rain down like a million rotten eggs?
Down upon the crown of creation?
Do we?
We do
