Leesha Harvey: Music
What Can I Do?
(Leesha Harvey)
They talk entitlements
or safety nets and bottom floors
All I know is what I make
doesn't buy half the things that it did before
And no, I'm not asking for much
But the doctor's talking surgery
and insurance just won't pay
The banker keeps on calling,
wants to take my house away
Chorus:
What can I do now?
What can I do now?
What can I do now
That it's all gone?
They're forming bread lines
in this nation of wealth
But you won't spare your pocket change
to help feed someone else
And no, you don't owe me a thing
But you're burning up my wallet
as you're drilling up the sky
While I'm scraping bottom
looks like someone's riding high
Chorus
You can call me crazy
But please don't call me lazy
'til you put my shoes on and you walk about
A sweaty brow and calloused hands
Are no guarantee
That you won't ever do without
Chorus
Outro:
Gone, gone, gone...
Gone, gone, gone, where did it go...
Ba dap ba ba da ba...
