NOTHING YOU CAN DO

Fire melts the ice
Cold only gets colder
This is where I am right now
There's nothing you can do!

Twenty five years ago today
When I was seventeen and one
Standing before a Chinese Monk
Said life is a matter of direction

What can you do?
Nothing, not a damn thing!
What can you do?
Accept the fact baby
There's nothing you can do!

Living to die I gave up suicide
What's the use for death is eminent
Now blue is truer, night not so pale
Is real freedom a farmer in the dell?

There's nothing you can do
About nothing you can do
There's one thing life will do
Careful the shoes you choose

There's nothing you can do
About a thing you didn't groom
There's one thing life will do
Stand to win or fall as you lose

What can you do?
Nothing, not a damn thing
What can you do?
Accept the fact baby
There's nothing you can do!

Fire melts the ice
Cold only gets colder
This is where I am right now
There's nothing you can do!
