Do What I Gotta Do lyrics

So I do what I gotta do

Drink a beer on a Monday afternoon

My potential is rotting in a can

And the devil has got the upper hand

So here I am, wrestling with the man

In the mirror running through my head

Disappear and reappear again

Now it's clear that I'm already dead

So I do what I gotta do

Smoke a joint and laugh at me and you

Watch the people as they walk on by

I'm so happy I think that I could cry

And When I do, it'll all come out

I will prove that I can be myself

Disappear and reappear again

Now it's clear that I'm already dead

So I do what I gotta do

Put a band-aid right over the bruise

Plant a seed and leave it to the wind

If it grows I hope to see it live

And here I am, mother nature's child

With a problem that I could never solve

I could be anything I want

But today I think I'd rather not
