Did you drop your baby at the bottom of the blues? Well, everybody's gotta suffer for all the things you choose You say, I need you sweetie, but I ain't got the nerve You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve Don't know if they told ya, in the year that I come from They were talkin' 'bout a revolution, talking about Vietnam Well, you can't quite remember, baby ain't you heard? You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve Sooner or later, some kind of savior Is gonna come down through the roof Do me a favor, let me off easy when you do I don't need no doctor, I don't need no truth I'm goin' to California, baby I'm bulletproof Just a strange believer, runnin' on the word You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve Get what you deserve (repeat)
