Lyrics
Shake Your Head
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can't stare into the sun
You can't pretend to have fun
Shake your head
You can't read a robot's mind
Can't expect vultures to be kind
Shake your head
Can't tune a radio to heaven
You can't live seven lives
Shake your head
You can't win money at the horses
You can't fight the armed forces
Shake your head
Shake your head (let's go to bed)
You can't sing underwater
You can't have the boss' daughter
Shake your head
You can't make missles out of mud
You can't purify bad blood
Shake your head
You can't sue Buddah for libel
You can't rewrite the Bible
Shake your head
You can't hit homers like Babe Ruth
Can't put your finger on the truth
Shake your head
Shake your head (let's go to bed)
You can't feed the hungry
Can't talk Shakespeare to a monkey
Shake your head
You can't bounce a square ball
You can't fight city hall
Shake your head
You can't argue with death
Can't break a burly sailor's neck
Shake your head
You can't drink lava from plastic glasses
You can't influence the masses
Shake your head
You can't become invisible
Can't bullshit the devil
Shake your head
You can't ban the bomb
And there's no way to stay calm
Shake your head
Shake your head (let's go to bed)
