Was (Not Was) - Shake Your Head Lyrics

Head [Repeat x8]

You can't argue with death
Can't break a burly sailor's neck
You can't drink lava from plastic glasses
And you can' t influence the masses
You can't tune a radio to heaven
You can't live seven lives
You can't win money at the horses
And you can't fight the armed forces

Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Let's got to bed

Head [Repeat x4]

You can't feed the hungry
Can't talk Shakespeare to a monkey
You can't stand the bomb
And there's no way to stay calm
You can't sue Buddha for libel
You can't rewrite the Bible
You can't hit homers like Babe Ruth
And can't put your finger on the truth

Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Let's got to bed

Oh, ah

And you can't influence
And you can't influence
And you can't influence
Mmm, let's go to bed

You can't sing underwater
You can't have the boss' daughter
You can't make missiles out of mud
You can't purify bad blood
You can't feed the hungry
You can't pretend to have fun
You can't read a robot's mind
And you can't expect vultures to be kind

Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Let's go to bed
Let's go to bed
Ooh let's go to bed

Head [Repeat]
