For the Birds Lyrics by Mekaloton

Cheap Suits

2024

[Verse 1]
I’ve gotten out of bed now, so what more must I do?
The hours lie ahead now, I see them passing through
What’s with all this ado?
What’s with all this ado?
What’s with all this ado?
[Chorus]
I don’t know what you want
I don’t know what you need
I’d say I’ll do my best, but nothing’s guaranteed
‘Cause i don’t have the mettle, and I don’t understand
I’m not somebody special, I just do what I can
I just do what I can
[Verse 2]
Inane, obtuse, and hapless, that’s just what I’ve been called
Don’t treat me like an atlas, I’m known to drop the ball
The writing’s on the wall
The writing’s on the wall
The writing’s on the wall
I’m letting you decide, so, poorly or not at all?
I don’t take any pride, no, I only take the fall
I try not to recall
I try not to recall
I try not to recall
[Chorus]
I don’t know what you want
I don’t know what you need
I’d say I’ll do my bеst, but nothing’s guaranteed
‘Cause I don’t have the mеttle, and I don’t understand
I’m not somebody special, I just do what I can
I don’t know what you want
I don’t know what you need
I’m just a lowly cog, in this lowly machine
I don’t have any answers, I can’t do what you ask
I’m not up to the standard, I’m not up to the task
I’m not up to the task
[Bridge]
I don’t know what I want
I don’t know what I need
I’ve been so many things that I don’t want to be
‘Cause I just want to make it, just want to make it out
But I can’t see the future, I only see my doubt
{Outro]
I don’t know what I want
I don’t know what I need
Can’t listen to my self-fulfilling prophecy
Don’t ask why I produced it, just leave me for the birds
I’m done giving excuses, go looking for the words
Go looking for the words
