Can’t Stand It Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The way things go
You get so low
Struggle to find your skin
Hey ho
Look out below
Your prayers will never be answered again
[Verse 2]
Phones still ring
And singers sing
Speakers are speaking in code
What now
Well anyhow
Our prayers will never be answered again
[Chorus]
You know it's all beginning
To feel like it's ending
No love's as random
As God's love
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
[Verse 3]
The way things get
You get so high
Funny how we make new friends
Oh hey ho
I gotta go
My prayers will never be answered again
The way things go
You get so low
Struggle to find your skin
Hey ho
Look out below
Your prayers will never be answered again
[Verse 2]
Phones still ring
And singers sing
Speakers are speaking in code
What now
Well anyhow
Our prayers will never be answered again
[Chorus]
You know it's all beginning
To feel like it's ending
No love's as random
As God's love
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
[Verse 3]
The way things get
You get so high
Funny how we make new friends
Oh hey ho
I gotta go
My prayers will never be answered again
[Chorus]
You know it's all beginning
To feel like it's ending
No love's as random
As God's love
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
[Bridge]
Speakers speaking
Speakers speaking
Speaking in code
[Chorus]
You know it's all beginning
To feel like pretending
No love's as random
As my love
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
[Outro]
Your prayers will never be answered again
Your prayers will never be answered again
Your prayers will never be answered again
Your prayers will never be answered again
You know it's all beginning
To feel like it's ending
No love's as random
As God's love
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
[Bridge]
Speakers speaking
Speakers speaking
Speaking in code
[Chorus]
You know it's all beginning
To feel like pretending
No love's as random
As my love
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
[Outro]
Your prayers will never be answered again
Your prayers will never be answered again
Your prayers will never be answered again
Your prayers will never be answered again

Genius Annotation
One of two singles Wilco released from Summerteeth along with “A Shot in the Arm.”
One possible interpretation is that the song is about drifting away from God and religion.
