Desert Drought Lyrics by Cast

Beetroot

2001

[Verse 1]
Even if you work it out
The problem still remains just like a desert drought
The remedy remains intact
But falls apon deaf ears that refuse to react
Oblivious to laws of consequential fact

[Chorus]
You show me when to
(what you give is what you get, what you give is what you get)
You show me how to respond
(what you give is what you get, what you give is what you get)
You show me when to react
(what you give is what you get, what you give is what you get)
You show me when
(what you give is what you get, what you give is what you get)

[Verse 2]
The image that remains in view
Is one of isolation in a crowded room
Surgeons note they could remove
But that would leave me left with just an open wound
You find myself receding through my own vacuum

[Chorus]
You show me when to
(what you give is what you get, what you give is what you get)
You show me how to respond
(what you give is what you get, what you give is what you get)
You show me when to react
(what you give is what you get, what you give is what you get)
You show me when, yeah
(what you give is what you get, what you give is what you get)
You show me when

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
The way some people demonstrate
Intentions tend to precede choices that we make
The way some people operate
They spend their time promoting counterfeit that's fake
They'll try to sell you bread when baby it's half-baked

[Chorus]
You show me when to
(what you give, what you give)
You show me how to respond
(what you give, what you give)
You show me when to react
(what you give, what you give)
You show me when, yeah
(what you give, what you give)
You show me when

[Outro]
How to, when to
How to, when to
You show where to
