But What Can You? V6

V6

[Verse 1] Woke up Cup of cold déjà vu Same shoes Still ask what they do Bus stop Billboard asking me too “But what can you…” I’m like “mate That’s rude” [Chorus] But what can you do When the what that you do Doesn’t do what you thought it was doing to you Little ticking in your noodle Tiny existential poodle Doing doodles in the corner of your point of view But what can you be When you’re busy being busy being brand-new-free Got a bargain-bin brain on a buy-one-get-three So you chew through the chatter Make a racket with the matter Till the matter doesn’t really even matter to me [Verse 2] Clock hand Tap-tap Giving me grief Cheap suit Label says “make-believe” Shop girl Sells dreams two-for-a pound “Take two If you still muck about” [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Chatty little critic in my cranium Crammed Crank up Clatter like a second-hand band Backseat banter in a tin-can cab Cadence kicking like a drunk drum tab “Do this Do that Do better Be clever” Letter after letter Every never says “never” Static in the attic with a panic attack But the track still slaps while it laughs right back [whispered vocals] “Can you? Can’t you? Won’t you? Might?” I shrug Sip tea Say “yeah Alright” [Chorus]
