Shake Your Head Lyrics
[Verse 1: Kim Basinger]
You can't argue with death
You can't break a burly sailor's neck
You can't drink lava from plastic glasses
And you can't influence the masses
[Verse 2: Ozzy Osbourne]
You can't tune the radio to heaven
You can't live seven lives
You can't win money at the horses
And you can't fight the armed forces
[Chorus: Ozzy Osbourne, Kim Basinger]
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Let's go to bed
[Verse 3: Ozzy Osbourne]
You can't feed the hungry
Can't talk Shakespeare to a monkey
You can't ban the bomb
And there's no way to stay calm
[Verse 4: Kim Basinger]
You can't sue Buddha for libel
You can't rewrite the Bible
You can't hit homers like Babe Ruth
And you can't put your finger on the truth
[Chorus: Ozzy Osbourne, Kim Basinger]
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Let's go to bed
[Post-Chorus: Kim Basinger]
Oh, ah
Mmm, let's go to bed
[Verse 5: Kim Basinger]
You can't sing underwater
You can't have the boss' daughter
You can't make missiles out of mud
And you can't purify bad blood
[Verse 6: Ozzy Osbourne]
You can't feed the hungry
You can't pretend to have fun
You can't read a robot's mind
And you can't expect vultures to be kind
[Chorus: Ozzy Osbourne, Kim Basinger]
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Let's go to bed
Let's go to bed
Ooh, let's go to bed
