Lyrics
You walk to the window to see the sum go down
You light up a cigarette if there's nothing else around
Another fruitless day has slowly passed you by
You bought the advertising that said you didn't have to try
But don't you believe it!
I feel so helpless I can only watch you sleep
There's something bout you baby that I just can't reach
I dont think we're gonna make it
We're living miracles if you would just believe
You knock yourself down, before you're on your feet
Something you should know, Been told long ago
How Can You Reap What you dont Sow?
You criticize the culture that made you what you are
You defend your point to the end, if it's not too far
You'd show them all a thing or two if you only had the chance
You dream of making dance music, but you never dance
Go on and play that funky music white boy
I feel so helpless I can only watch you sleep
There's something bout you baby that I just can't reach
I dont think we're gonna make it
We're living miracles if you would just believe
You knock yourself down, before you're on your feet
Something you should know, Been told long ago
How Can You Reap What you dont Sow?
