Lyrics

Do What You Gotta Do Rosler, Ward
(from the Off Broadway play ?Brothers of the Brush?)



haven?t seen much of my family of late
last church I was in I was hired to paint
maybe this scaffold will reach heaven?s gate
but till then mates, oh well fuck it

do what you gotta do
just see that it gets done
don what you gotta do
that?s the way this operations run

now sometimes these breaks are a dangerous thing
a coffee a smoke and a time for a think
called up to the roof and your soul starts to sink
gonna freeze me ass today

do what you gotta do
just see that it gets done
do what you gotta do
that?s the way this operations run

come on boys heave ho
this ain?t no dance you know
I said this ain?t no dance you know!!

those could?ve been the first words I heard said
as I parted the womb and stuck out me head
there my mother was screaming and turning all red
and the foreman shouted out?

(chorus)
