well my job is now obsolete
twenty five years and i'm on the street
they push a button and say i'm a fan
one last job on the factory line
just 'cos you can
don't mean you should
i took the very best and it was good
i'd give it all back if i could
just 'cos you can
just 'cos you can
don't mean you should
oh she was a face facing the crowd
neon lights
the music was loud
one mistake
my whole life changed
how could i cause so much pain
just 'cause you can
don't mean you should
i took the very best and it was good
i'd give it all back if i could
just 'cos you can
just 'cos you can
don't mean you should
and everybody's got a tale to tell
oh so we'll see through
dancing around in disregard
every word never truth
every word out of tune
dropped a penny
said it was a dime
that's when one became ten lies
oh it's so easy to kid yourself
into pretending you're someone else
just 'cause you can
don't mean you should
i took the very best and it was good
i'd give it all back if i could
just 'cos you can
oh-oh
just 'cause you can
don't mean you should
i've taken the very best and it was good
i'd give it all back if i could
just 'cos you can
just 'cos you can
just 'cos you can
baby
just 'cos you can don't mean you should
oh i wanna give it all back
