Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

What Do You Do?

Yes I know you're right

I see it in your fierce eyes

But me I've never thought straight

Since the day I had the first doubt

Yes I know you're right

And I'll back you to a point pal

But I'll never be constrained

By another man's ideas now

I spent too long on this road

Looking for the answers

But Poverty and Failure

Aren't what I'm after

I painted "Fight" on factories

But they closed the factory down pal

I want to find out where the Heart's gone

Gonna find out where the nerves gone

What do you do

When democracy fails you

What do you do

When the rest can't see its true?

Pat votes the Scots way

Just like her mother

But South always takes all

Just like her brother

The next time she might vote

So might the others

But times running out pal

Cause they're giving up in numbers

What do you do

When Democracy's all through

What do you do

When minority means you?
