Did you drop your baby at the bottom of the blues?

Well, everybody's gotta suffer for all the things you choose

You say, I need you sweetie, but I ain't got the nerve

You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve



Don't know if they told ya, in the year that I come from

They were talkin' 'bout a revolution, talking about Vietnam

Well, you can't quite remember, baby ain't you heard?

You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve



Sooner or later, some kind of savior

Is gonna come down through the roof

Do me a favor, let me off easy when you do



I don't need no doctor, I don't need no truth

I'm goin' to California, baby I'm bulletproof

Just a strange believer, runnin' on the word

You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve



Get what you deserve [repeat]
