Nevertheless, You'll Do

	You've never driven through a red light,
	Or let your mind leave your body.
	It's pitch black in bed every night:
	You set the clock right for the morning alarm.

		You've never wanted to start any fires,
		Don't know a thing about tapping in on wires.

			I fill the room with people
			but still you sit empty,
			Stuck like putty.
			I tried to teach you good rock'n'roll,
			But you couldn't get over the old one-two,
			And nevertheless, you'll do.
			Nevertheless, you'll do.
			Nevertheless, I do.

	You get up in the morning and put on your suit
	For the office, and leave me.
	You come home all pushed and pulled,
	At six-thirty in the evening.

		The television, it takes you away
		To a picture-world where I have no say in it.

			I fill the room with people
			but still you sit empty,
			Stuck like putty.
			I tried to teach you good rock'n'roll,
			But you couldn't get over the old one-two,
			And nevertheless, you'll do.
			Nevertheless, you'll do.
			Nevertheless, I do.
