《We Do What We Can》歌词

[00:00:01] Downstairs they're playing kenton

[00:00:07] The house set to swing

[00:00:12] I lay in my bed

[00:00:15] And listen to everything

[00:00:23] Cause Leo's in rare form tonight

[00:00:29] His trombone sing's so sweet

[00:00:35] This is the room

[00:00:37] Where they all come to meet

[00:00:43] He said

[00:00:46] I do what I can

[00:00:51] I live for the moment

[00:00:54] And that's who I am

[00:01:00] Yeah that's who I am

[00:01:09] And isn't it good

[00:01:14] If we could freeze moments in time

[00:01:17] We all

[00:01:23] Do what I can

[00:01:28] I do what I can

[00:01:37] Downstairs he's playing kenton

[00:01:42] The magnavox sighs

[00:01:48] But oh how the music has changed

[00:01:51] In all of our lives

[00:01:59] He says nobody listens

[00:02:05] To modern jazz

[00:02:10] And I'll never have what those guys have

[00:02:19] He says

[00:02:21] I do what I can

[00:02:27] I work for a living

[00:02:30] And that's who I am

[00:02:35] Yeah that's who I am

[00:02:43] And it's good to be alive

[00:02:50] But everythings different since Leo died

[00:02:58] I do what I can

[00:03:12] Is this the end of the modern world

[00:03:16] What could it mean for a young girl

[00:03:20] Who sees the pain on his face

[00:03:25] He does what he can

[00:03:31] The procession on the TV screen

[00:03:36] What could it possibly mean for a man

[00:03:40] Who's come this far just to turn around

[00:03:49] Could there still be life in kentons swing

[00:03:54] With the Kennedys' gone and everything

[00:03:58] Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors

[00:04:03] Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers

[00:04:08] Riots down the street and discontented mothers

[00:04:15] We do what we can

[00:04:29] Downstairs it's quiet

[00:04:34] Less alive somehow

[00:04:39] Somehow he was everything that I am now

[00:04:48] And he says

[00:04:51] I do what I can

[00:04:56] I work for a living

[00:04:59] And that's who I am

[00:05:05] And that's who I am

[00:05:13] But it's good to be alive

[00:05:19] And these are the choices

[00:05:21] We make to survive

[00:05:27] You do what you can
