Lex Zaleta - What's A Guy Gotta Do? lyrics

What's a guy gotta do To catch a break in this town? There's always the man in blue Wearin' a badge and a frown. After a year or two, It starts to get you down. What's a guy gotta do To catch a break in this town? Your life's controlled; They've got a hold, Got a hold on you. They've bought and sold, Bought and sold you. Your border's patrolled; Run and they'll find you. You can't stay here, And you can't go there; They won't even let you Fall into despair. You can't stay here, And you can't go there; They won't even let you Fall into despair. What's a guy gotta do To get ahead in this state? The only thing that's true Is "Hurry up and wait." After a year or two, First love can turn to hate. What's a guy gotta do To get ahead in this state? Your life's controlled; They've got a hold, Got a hold on you, They've bought and sold, Bought and sold you. Your border's patrolled; Run and they'll find you. You can't stay here, And you can't go there; They won't even let you Fall into despair. You can't stay here, And you can't go there; They won't even let you Fall into despair. What's a guy gotta do To get ahead on this earth? You make a buck or two, But never what you're worth. Right till your life is through, It's a struggle from birth. What's a guy gotta do To get ahead on this earth? Copyright
