We Do What We Do

about

An retro sounding pop song containing some lessons for life

lyrics

Feeling intellectual lying on my bed
Got all this ineffectual static in my head
And nothing really matters
But the bees among the flowers in your garden
Take the time to weave some rhymes
I’m not inclined to waste a line
And nothing really matters but
the bees among the flowers in your garden

You could close your mind and sit the whole thing out
You can lie there and say you didn’t know
But in the end my friend you’ve got to look life in the eye
Think about what you did and what you said
We do what we do and we don’t last forever
In the end we’re only passing through
So try to be kind do your best speak your mind my friend
‘Cos in the end it all comes down to you

There’s been truths and there’s been lies
And there’s been things you can’t deny
And nothing really matters but the bees among the flowers in your garden
The whole damned world has gone insane
Let’s break it down and start again
And all that really matters are
the bees among the flowers in your garden
