What Can We Do? Lyrics by Michael Mantler

Hide and Seek

2001

[Intro: Susi Hyldgaard & Robert Wyatt]
What can we do?
I don't know
What can we do?
I don't know
What can we do?
I don't know
What can we do?
I don't know
I don't know
What can we do?
I don't know
What can we do?
I don't know
What can we do?
I don't know
What can we do?
I don't know
I don't know
What can we do?
I don't know
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1: Susi Hyldgaard & Robert Wyatt]
Have you noticed?
Yes, yes
Of course I've noticed
What are we going to do about it?
I don't know, what can we do?
We can sue
We can protest
We can throw stones
But that wouldn't solve anything
We've got to make them listen
I know, but we don't have much time
We've got to act fast
[Verse 2: Susi Hyldgaard & Robert Wyatt]
What if we don't?
What will happen to us then?
Nothing good
I suppose, the worst
Yes, nothing but thе worst
The worst?
Yes
That's bad, isn't it?
It's worse than bad
It's thе worst
The worst
[Verse 3: Susi Hyldgaard & Robert Wyatt]
Are you alright?
To tell the truth, no
Do you have any ideas?
Yes
What?
I'm goin' to scream
When are you going to do it?
Right now
Right now?
Yes, right now
[Outro: Susi Hyldgaard & Robert Wyatt]
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
Help! Help! (Help!)
