| 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
|

|
| (Gimme what you can, can) coming round the corner
|
| (Gimme) good news
|
