Sometimes they´ll want to cut you down
Betta scratch that itch cos the time is now
They tell you that you gotta have a heart of steel
If you want to keep up can you afford to feel?

When the system´s wrong you gotta tear it down let it fall to the sea bed like a rusty crown
To the stars in the moonbeams glare Shackles on your feet gonna disappear

Chorus
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Can´t you see baby life´s knocking right at your door
Oooh I just don´t know for sure.
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?

Don´t give up don´t give up
Don´t give up don´t give up
Don´t give up don´t give up
Don´t give up don´t give up

She´s got a talented face and a suitcase
Ain´t got no desire to go no place
In her case she´s got no desire with her hand in the flame say´s she don´t feel the fire
To the ´yes´ in the evenings air demons in your head got to disappear
To the stars under the moon means glare
The Shackles on your meat will disappear

Chorus
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Can´t you see baby life´s knocking right at your door
She said, "Oooh I just don´t know for sure"
What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
