Just 'Cos You Can Don't Mean You Should
Well my job is now obsolete
Twenty five years and I'm on the street
They push a button and say I'm a fan
One last job on the factory line
Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should
I took the very best and it was good
I'd give it all back if I could
Just 'cos you can
Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should
Oh she was a face facing the crowd
Neon lights, the music was loud
One mistake, my whole life changed
How could I cause so much pain
Just 'cause you can, don't mean you should
I took the very best and it was good
I'd give it all back if I could
Just 'cos you can
Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should
And everybody's got a tale to tell
Oh so we'll see through
Dancing round in disregard
Every word never truth, every word out of tune
Dropped a penny, said it was a dime
That's when one became ten lies
Oh it's a reason to kid yourself
Into pretending you're so blessed
Just 'cause you can, don't mean you should
I took the very best and it was good
I'd give it all back if I could
Just 'cos you can, oh-oh
Just 'cause you can, don't mean you should
I've taken the very best and it was good
I'd give it all back if I could
Just 'cos you can, just 'cos you can
Just 'cos you can, baby
Just 'cos you can don't mean you should
Oh I wanna give it all back
Twenty five years and I'm on the street
They push a button and say I'm a fan
One last job on the factory line
Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should
I took the very best and it was good
I'd give it all back if I could
Just 'cos you can
Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should
Oh she was a face facing the crowd
Neon lights, the music was loud
One mistake, my whole life changed
How could I cause so much pain
Just 'cause you can, don't mean you should
I took the very best and it was good
I'd give it all back if I could
Just 'cos you can
Just 'cos you can, don't mean you should
And everybody's got a tale to tell
Oh so we'll see through
Dancing round in disregard
Every word never truth, every word out of tune
Dropped a penny, said it was a dime
That's when one became ten lies
Oh it's a reason to kid yourself
Into pretending you're so blessed
Just 'cause you can, don't mean you should
I took the very best and it was good
I'd give it all back if I could
Just 'cos you can, oh-oh
Just 'cause you can, don't mean you should
I've taken the very best and it was good
I'd give it all back if I could
Just 'cos you can, just 'cos you can
Just 'cos you can, baby
Just 'cos you can don't mean you should
Oh I wanna give it all back
