Something’s Gotta Give - Pere Ubu

Something's Gotta Give - Pere Ubu
You gotta feel sorry for The Guy
Oh no reason - just brother feelin
You gotta feel sorry for The Guy -
No reason but brother feelin
A man in the rain hat had to have his say
Live and let live
The old man watches the water rise
Man everybody knows something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
And when it goes it starts rollin out of everywhere -
Through floorboards
Cracks in walls
Oozin down the chimney halls -
A real Son of Blob job
Welcome to our town
People swept along
People swept along and how
With goats
Cats
Dogs and hats
Oozin down the chimney backs -
A real Son of Blob job
The man in the rain hat had to have his say
Live and let live
The old man watches the water rise
Man everybody knows something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Nations rise and fall
Dentist appointments forgotten by great and small -
Mighty or humble
Wise man or fool
Rivulet or Old Man River
Flaps flippin out of slots every which-a-way
And when it goes it starts rollin out of everywhere
The man in the rain hat had to have his say
Live and let live
The old man watches the water rise
Man everybody knows something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
