"What For" lyrics
Ian Hunter & The Rant Band Lyrics
"What For"
I had enough of those plastic bags
Can't read them daily rags
Can't watch, can't listen to trash television, trash television
Had enough of counting sheep
Buyin' them magazines, read 'em 'n' weep
What you read is what you know
Gonna write a letter, gonna write a letter home
Cut the crap, lose the bling
Try a little recreational skulldiving
Satellite shopping, inflatable rain
Amateur dramatics, amateur dramatics
Get off that cellular phone
Ain't you got a mind of your own
You gotta learn how to use it, learn how to use it, learn how to use it
Show me what you got now
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
Change your habits, change the locks
Don't be just another kid on the block
Know your enemies, know your friends
Look for something better, look for something better
Big wide world waitin' outside
You're never gonna know if you don't give it a try
You gotta learn how to use it, learn how to use it, learn how to use it
Show me what you got now
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
You always worried about the way you look
You're gonna fall for every trick in the book
Own little street, own little prison
Ah, you never listen, ah, you never listen
I want respect, and what is more
You ain't getting no key to the door
Until you learn how to earn it, learn how to earn it, learn how to earn it
Show me what you got now, show me what you got now, show me what you got now
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
What for, what for, what for, I'll give you what for
What for - yada yada yada yada

Dave Edmunds - "Readers Wives" Well, if you like your women short or tall
You like your girlfriends big or small
Just cruise on down to the corner stand
Give your money to the man
A mugger carries a couple of knives
All I wanna do...
Faces - "Miss Judy's Farm" Miss Judy, she was moody
Owned a sweaty farm in old Alabam
I was just eighteen, crude and mean
All I needed was to get my own way.
Miss Judy, she could have me any hour of the working day
She'd send...
Jackson Browne - "For A Rocker" Open the door, baby turn on the light
We're gonna have a party tonight
For a rocker
For a rocker
I know it's late and you're already down
You ain't ready for people around
I'm gonna tell you...
Free - "Catch A Train" Catch a train to my place
Call me when you get into town
I'm gonna meet you at the station, oh yeah
You can tell me why you're feeling down
Is it you mother, though she tends to shout a bit
But...
Robert Palmer - "You're Gonna Get What's Coming" You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
I've got a Thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing
And we'll light it
In all this...
