Song Lyrics

"Whachagonnado"

by Say What?
Album: Nuclear Fishin'

Open your eyes, alarm's ringing again,
Not too young, so let's begin
Get up, get in, get out and get ready,
You got to go to school,
Got a five in your pocket, you jump on your bike,
Jeans tucked in, you know you look right,
School day staring you right in the face,
Got to fit in, can't be out of place.

No time to be afraid,
Let's see of what you're made,
Running out of time,
No time to be afraid,
Let's see of what you're made,
You're running out of...

Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'

Now you graduate the big H.S., but you just walked into a bigger mess,
The boys have toys and the girls have ploys, and you wonder which way to turn,
So you bend the rules, follow the crowd,
If your friends say, "Yell," you make it loud,
But you've been taught what's wrong and right,
Are you gonna burn out, or will you shine your light'

No time to be afraid,
Let's see of what you're made,
Running out of time,
No time to be afraid,
Let's see of what you're made,
You're running out of...

Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'

So, it's off to college, what a privilege,
Head for the city, got to leave your little village,
No one to watch you, out on your own,
How you act is up to you alone,
Party time, throwing morals out the window,
Everybody's doing it, wanting you to let go,
A blinding taste of sur-reality,
You're just picking locks, when he's got the key.

No time to be afraid,
Let's see of what you're made,
Running out of time,
No time to be afraid,
Let's see of what you're made,
Running out of...

Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'

Spent all your life thinking you were too young,
Afraid to stand, afraid to run,
Now's the time, don't procrastinate,
You got to start now, or it will be too late.

No time to be afraid,
Let's see of what you're made,
Running out of time,
No time to be afraid,
Let's see of what you're made,
Running out of...

Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
Whachagonnado' Whachagonnado'
