Song 5 from the rock opera 'All Systems Go' by 'Atlas Before'
lyrics
Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don't
[Nightclub background noise]
It ain't what you do but how you do it.
It ain't what you say but what you do.
It ain't what you know but who you know.
It ain't who you know but who you are.
So, if it's damned if you do
And damned if you don't
Then do what you damn
And don't what you won't.
Brother am I burning in your eyes?
They say 'judge not and be not judged'.
But they say that to judge somebody
Who's usually just been judging them.
So, if it's damned if you do
And damned if you don't
Then do what you damn
And don't what you won't.
[MC] Hit it Slider!
[Cameo by 'Slider']
Do what you damn
Do what you damn well choose.
Do what you damn
Do what you damn
Do what you want to do.
[MC] Oh No...
[Slider continues]
Do what you damn
Do what you damn
Do what you damn well choose.
Do what you damn
Do what you damn
Do what you supposed/want to do.
[MC] Kill it Slider.
Everybody's looking for a bigger piece o' that
Same old pie.
Some say mine is yours and yours is mine.
Some they say, "Let's make the whole thing bigger!"
And others say, "That's 'pie in the sky'."
So if it's damned if you do
And damned if you don't
Then do what you damn
And don't what you won't.
