Badfinger - Meanwhile Back at the Ranch / Should I Smoke lyrics
Artist: Badfinger
album: Shine On: Badfinger 1974
Why do you think me so hard to get?
Is there something they might regret?
Is it better to just forget, just forget?
If they only would let us know
Then we'd know just how far to go
But instead they just tell us no, tell us no
You, you always played the fool
(You always played the fool)
You always break the rule
At every single school you know
(You always break the rule)
It always pulled you down
They could always pull you down
You, you never stayed the same
(You never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play
(You always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?
Why do you think me so hard to get?
Is there something they might regret?
Is it better to just forget, just forget?
If they only would let us know
Then we'd know just how far to go
But instead they just tell us no, tell us no
You, you never stayed the same
(You never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play
(You always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?
Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?
Don't know what to say
You're makin' me better
I've learned how to pray
Change in the weather today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to lose
The day passes by
Nobody listens and nobody cries
For anyone's mission today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to choose
Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?
Is there something they might regret?
Is it better to just forget, just forget?
If they only would let us know
Then we'd know just how far to go
But instead they just tell us no, tell us no
You, you always played the fool
(You always played the fool)
You always break the rule
At every single school you know
(You always break the rule)
It always pulled you down
They could always pull you down
You, you never stayed the same
(You never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play
(You always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?
Why do you think me so hard to get?
Is there something they might regret?
Is it better to just forget, just forget?
If they only would let us know
Then we'd know just how far to go
But instead they just tell us no, tell us no
You, you never stayed the same
(You never stayed the same)
And now you take the blame
For all the little games they play
(You always take the blame)
And let it bring you down
Why'd you let it bring you down?
Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?
Don't know what to say
You're makin' me better
I've learned how to pray
Change in the weather today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to lose
The day passes by
Nobody listens and nobody cries
For anyone's mission today
Don't know what to do
Just makes it hard to choose
Should I smoke or should I die?
Somebody must tell me why
Should I laugh, should I cry
Won't somebody help me?
