What Do You Do

WHAT DO YOU DO By Roy Merritt What do you when your neighbor Seems to have lost his mind What do you do when your best friend Walks around when blind What do you when your lover Seems a stranger from afar What do you do when your ride Drives drunk inside his car Don’t pat ‘em on the back don’t give ‘em a kiss Give ‘em one up side the head teach ‘em to resist Do you shrug your shoulders Think it’s just a simple phase Do you just ignore it all And pray for better days Do you slowly walk away Do you refuse and tune out Do you weep for heaven’s mercy Swim away like a trout Don’t pat ‘em on the back don’t give ‘em a kiss Give ‘em one up side the head teach ‘em to resist Do you pray to almighty God Do you call their MD Do you just give up on them In fear of them do flee Do you go hire a shrink To delve deep inside their head Do you tie ‘em down with ropes And force ‘em to stay in bed Don’t pat ‘em on the back don’t give ‘em a kiss Give ‘em one up side the head teach ‘em to resist Do you show your rage Do you express your shock Do you drag ‘em down to the river And throw ‘em off the dock Do you set fire to the house Do you burn it down Do you push ‘em to the floor As it crumbles to the ground Don’t pat ‘em on the back don’t give ‘em a kiss Give ‘em one up side the head teach ‘em to resist Its all up to you now Nothing right now is clear I’ve done my part so far I’ve done it all this year But if one thing is certain They shouldn’t drink this wine Everything is up for grabs Our country is on the line Don’t pat ‘em on the back don’t give ‘em a kiss Give ‘em one up side the head teach ‘em to resist Don’t pat ‘em on the back don’t give ‘em a kiss Give ‘em one up side the head teach ‘em to resist
