Lyrics
WHAT THEY SAY
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Jay
You can’t put away what you don’t do
Believe it’s true, get what’s coming
Can’t imagine what you’re going through
Believable dreams, nothing’s true
Can’t remember what the chances are
Win somebody’s war, uninformed
In one side and out the other again
Can’t use second hands, some other plan
Does it sound just like what they told you
Isn’t that just like what they’d say
Given though it’s got to be in a word
It’s got to be heard, from down in
Will we ever need that word to the wise
Buck some of the lies, gave good advise
Can’t remember what the chances are
Win somebody’s war, uninformed
In one side and out the other again
Like some other land
You wonder
Does it sound just like what they told you
Isn’t that just like what they’d say
Does it look much like what they sold you
Let them show the way
You can’t put away what you don’t do
Believe it’s true, get what’s coming
Can’t imagine what you’re going through
Believable dreams, nothing’s true
Can’t remember what the chances are
Win somebody’s war, uninformed
In one side and out the other again
Can’t use second hands, some other plan
Does it sound just like what they told you
Isn’t that just like what they’d say
Does it look much like what they sold you
Let them show the way
To ignore
