Give It What You Can |
Give it what you can while you still can give it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it |
Give it what you can (can) |
In every situation there’s a good and bad |
The world’s sitting right on the ledge |
We gotta keep our eyes wide open |
And hope we don’t fall off the edge |
Living in a world that don’t look confusin' |
Grabbed all the food we eat |
Better tradition is just an illusion |
Askin' is better than need |
Give it what you can while you still can give it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Time is hard, a dollar ain’t nothing |
And nothing in the world is free |
Trying to unlock the answer to living |
But you keep throwing away the key |
Love yourself and hate your brother |
Is a well-known matter of fact |
We keep on trying to get rid of this hate |
But it keeps on coming back |
Give it what you can while you still can give it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Give it what you can while you still can give it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Just gotta find a way, shake this feeling (oh) |
Bad news, following another day |
Makes me feel like (oh) |
Bad news, bad news |
Bad news, sad news |
Coming round the corner |
Good news, glad news |
Forget all the hate |
(Gimme) bad news |
(gimme what you can) sad news |
(Gimme what you can, can) coming round the corner |
(Gimme) good news |
(gimme what you can) glad news |
(Gimme what you can, can) forget all the hate |
(Gimme) bad news |
(gimme what you can) sad news |
(Gimme what you can, can) coming round the corner |
(Gimme) good news |
(gimme what you can) glad news |
(Gimme what you can, can) forget all the hate |
Time is hard, a dollar ain’t nothing |
And nothing in the world is free |
Trying to unlock the answer to living |
But you keep throwing away the key |
Love yourself and hate your brother |
Is a well-known matter of fact |
We keep on trying to get rid of this hate |
But it keeps on coming back |
Give it what you can while you still can give it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Give it what you can while you still can give it |
Give it what you can (can) |
Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it |
Give it what you can (can) |
(Gimme) bad news |
(gimme what you can) sad news |
(Gimme what you can, can) coming round the corner |
(Gimme) good news |
(gimme what you can) glad news |
(Gimme what you can, can) forget all the hate |
(fades out) |
