Never Do Anything Lyrics

[Bridge]
Don't write me off as an also ran
Just mark me down as an angry man
Got a big chip,
you want a fat lip?
How 'bout a mouthful of Chiclets?
Life passed me by, but it's not my fault
I'll lick my wounds, could you pass the salt?

[Chorus]
I can be that, but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything
I can be that, but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything

[Interlude]
If I were the king
All my subjects, they would dance and sing
They could kiss my ring

And kiss my ass

[Verse 3]
When I'm old and grey
I'll look back on my life and say
"Give me one more day
And still I'll never do anything"
[Chorus]
I can be that, but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything
I can be that, but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything
I can be that, but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything
I can be that, but soon you'll see that
I will never do anything!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
