Don’t Just Do Something

Sometime they say that love is blind
But I think that dumb is what they had in mind
I could let it go, but I'd rather know
If I sit around, will another show?

Sometime I get to fly so high
That the sun burns my wings, but I will fly
Just a little too far 'cause that's where you are
And I won't bring you down, believe in me

Sometime I like to sit around
I'm just contemplating sitting round
I could lay in bed like my momma said
"Don't just do something, sit around instead"

Sometime, if I may say myself
I'm not bad at life, I'm not good, as well
And though life goes on, I can't plainly see
Just what is it for, if it's not for me?

Sometime, though it's a big surprise
I may compromise the thing I most desire
I can say with pride, hold my head up high
That I had a great idea, but never mind

Oh, babe, I'm going nowhere
Nowhere's where I wanna be
But babe, I'm good for nothing
Nothing is good enough for me
Anything, anything can come to anybody
Everything, everything can come to someone sometime

Oh, babe, I'm good for nothing
Nothing is good enough for me
Anything, anything can come to anybody
Everything, everything can come to someone sometime

Sometime opportunity passes right by me
Didn't even slow
I can't breathe and think and I need a drink
All this common sense made a fool of me

Sometime I like to sit around
I'm just contemplating sitting round
I could lay in bed like my momma said
"Don't just do something, sit around instead"

Sometime I like to fly so high
That the sun burns my wings, but I will fly
Just a little too far 'cause that's where you are
And I won't bring you down, believe in me

Sometime I get me all confused
And the reasons why are confusing too
I could be with you, try to sort it out
If I tell the truth, I like to lie about

Sometime, though it's a big surprise
I've may compromise the thing I most desire
I can say with pride, hold my head up high
That I had a great idea, but never mind

Sometime I like to sit around
I'm just contemplating sitting round
And though life goes on, I can't plainly see
All this common sense made a fool of me

I don't want to live, but I can't resist
I've got some reasons and I made list
I'm gonna drown before my ship comes in
And I forgot to ring my mum again
And life ain't good without cigarettes
