[Eb] [Gm]
[C] [Gm] We could [D] live in a [Gm] house outside [D] of town.
[Gm] We could [D] build our own [Gm] version of
[Dm] society.
[Bb] Well,
Hey!
[D]
There'd be no one [Gm] to answer to and complicate our lives.
We could [Eb] be the [Gm] epitome of [Eb] self-suffice.
[Bb] We could be the stars of the night.
We could be the great big doctor that you want to make.
[Ab] Hey, why should [Db] we die?
[G] Why?
[Em] [Bb] Why [G] should we
[Em] be
right [G] on the
[E] face
[F] of shabby [D] life?
[C] [G]
Why should [Eb] we
[Gm] carry on your false integrity?
When,
when [Eb] you've shown us that you can even keep your mask [Bb] on!
[Gm]
[D] [Eb] So far [Gm] we've put financial gain ahead of human needs.
Quality of college should be [F] prioritized.
I'm the best!
You're the best!
You're the best!
You're the best!
You're the best!
You're the best!
Hey, [Ab] why should [Db] we die?
[G] Why?
[E] [Bb] Why should we be
[Em] [Bb] right on the
[Em] [Bb] face
of shabby [D]
[Gb] life?
[C] [A] So carry [Gb] on!
[C] So carry [D]
on!
[Gb] [C] So carry [A]
[Gm] on!
[Dm]
[D]
[E] [F] You're quite right to say that in a life you won't find a life with all the grace
of the opposite sex.
Like all we have lost, I need to protect the rest.
And if [Bb] I'm to be the next doctor to take someone under the lead,
I'll know that I'm still at the wits' end.
So don't let me say,
Hey, [Ab] why should we die?
[G] Why?
[Em] [Bb] Why should [G] we be
[Em] [Bb] right on [G] the
[B] face
[Bb] So [G] carry on!
[E] [Bb] [G] Why?
[E] Why [F] should [G] we be
[Em] [Bb] right [G] on the face
[Em] [F] [D] So
[Gb] [C] [A] carry [Gb] on!
[C] So [D] carry
[Gb] on!
