Not What I Have Done Lyrics by The Whips

Never Change, Or Do

0

[Chorus]
They say that no one chooses
We all play the hand we're dealt
And that money in your pocket
No one's asking how it felt
Working for the losing
Resume's a waste of sun
I've got offers on the table
I am not what I have done
[Verse]
Janie's got a kid
From a boy who ran away
The hardest job in the world, or at least that's what they say
A single human life
As she wastes her perfect health
But she's got no degree
So they'll hire someone else
And he'll grow up to wander
Far away from Janie's arms
A clean degree from Stanford
Made by sweat bled on a farm
The resume illustration
All the wars that he has won
The only thing that's missing
Is he's not the bosses son!
[Chorus]
They say that no one chooses
We all play the hand we're dealt
And that money in your pocket
No one's asking how it felt
Working for the losing
Resume's a waste of sun
I've got offers on the table
I am not what I have done
[Verse]
Mrs.[?]
Working at the dollar store
The nicest smile you've ever seen
And she'll work 'till 94
She'll breathe her last breath
Givin' customers some help
Maybe she'd have enough experience
To fuckin' feed herself!
[Chorus]
They say that no one chooses
We all play the hand we're dealt
And that money in your pocket
No one's asking how it felt
Working for the losing
Resume's a waste of sun
I've got offers on the table
I am not what I have done
[Bridge]
So this return to sender
Written to the casting couch
And all the pretty banks will make sure I
Never own a house
From all [?] numbers
Who won't stand to give a damn
We heard you say you love us
And we'll never feel the same!
[Chorus]
They say that no one chooses
We all play the hand we're dealt
And that money in your pocket
No one's asking how it felt
Working for the losing
Resume's a waste of sun
I've got offers on the table
I am not what I have done
They say that no one chooses
We all play the hand we're dealt
And that money in your pocket
No one's asking how it felt
Working for the losing
Resume's a waste of sun
I've got offers on the table
I am not what I have done
