Give It What You Can Lyrics - New Directions - The Meters

Give it what you can while you still can give it 

Give it what you can (can) 

Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it 

Give it what you can (can) 

In every situation there's a good and bad 

The world's sitting right on the ledge 

We gotta keep our eyes wide open 

And hope we don't fall off the edge 

Living in a world that don't look confusin' 

Grabbed all the food we eat 

Better tradition is just an illusion 

Askin' is better than need 

Give it what you can while you still can give it 

Give it what you can (can) 

Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it 

Give it what you can (can)

Time is hard, a dollar ain't nothing 

and nothing in the world is free 

Trying to unlock the answer to living 

but you keep throwing away the key 

Love yourself and hate your brother 

is a well-known matter of fact 

We keep on trying to get rid of this hate 

but it keeps on coming back 

Give it what you can while you still can give it 

Give it what you can (can) 

Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it 

Give it what you can (can) 

Give it what you can while you still can give it 

Give it what you can (can) 

Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it 

Give it what you can (can) 

Just gotta find a way, shake this feeling (oh) 

Bad news, following another day 

Makes me feel like (oh) 

Bad news, bad news 

Bad news, sad news 

Coming round the corner 

Good news, glad news 

Forget all the hate 

(Gimme) bad news 

(gimme what you can) sad news 

(Gimme what you can, can) coming round the corner 

(Gimme) good news 

(gimme what you can) glad news 

(Gimme what you can, can) forget all the hate 

(Gimme) bad news 

(gimme what you can) sad news 

(Gimme what you can, can) coming round the corner 

(Gimme) good news 

(gimme what you can) glad news 

(Gimme what you can, can) forget all the hate 

Time is hard, a dollar ain't nothing 

and nothing in the world is free 

Trying to unlock the answer to living 

but you keep throwing away the key 

Love yourself and hate your brother 

is a well-known matter of fact 

We keep on trying to get rid of this hate 

but it keeps on coming back 

Give it what you can while you still can give it 

Give it what you can (can) 

Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it 

Give it what you can (can) 

Give it what you can while you still can give it 

Give it what you can (can) 

Give it what you can 'cause you gotta live with it 

Give it what you can (can) 

(Gimme) bad news 

(gimme what you can) sad news 

(Gimme what you can, can) coming round the corner 

(Gimme) good news 

(gimme what you can) glad news 

(Gimme what you can, can) forget all the hate
