Lyrics

You’ve never driven through a red light
Or let your mind leave your body
It’s pitch black in bed every night
You set the clock right for the morning alarm

You’ve never wanted to start any fights
Don’t know a thing about tapping in on wires

I fill the room with people
but still you sit empty
Stuck like putty
I tried to teach you good rock’n’roll
But you couldn’t get over the old one-two
And nevertheless, you’ll do
Nevertheless, you’ll do
Nevertheless, I do

You’re getting up in the morning and put on your suit
For the office, and leave me
You come home all pushed and pulled,
At six-thirty in the evening

The television, it takes you away
To a picture-world where I have no say in it

I fill the room with people
but still you sit empty,
Stuck like putty
I tried to teach you good rock’n’roll,
But you couldn’t get over the old one-two,
And nevertheless, you’ll do
Nevertheless, you’ll do
Nevertheless, I do
