Making Do

To the next generation, Merry Christmas You're working harder than ever now and the coffee sucks You know, Colombia and Kenya got too damn hot And now you're making do with what you've got (Everybody knew) Reading all the same headlines Blowing through the traffic signs Looking for the cops (But what could you do?) Can't you see it clear as glass? Going through it if we crash But we're never gonna stop (Killer waves and riots) Coming to the coastline soon Counting up the new typhoons Quicker than kilowatts (How could you deny it?) Living like your eyes are shut I guess it's hard to be a human (It's even harder to be not) When you're making do with what you've got (Where are all the heroes?) Perfect teeth glistening Big strong chins Shooting for the moonshots (Like going sixty to zero) Slowing down, few and far between Everything true, it seems Like we forgot (I don't wanna lie) What do I say to my baby girl? Leaving her with half a world That we could've done a lot? (I just wanna die) If she wants what she can't become And she can't blame anyone (Because it's no one's fault) When you're making do with what you've got You've gotta make it do a lot more than ever And you don't even know what you lost A perfect paradise of too many guilty pleasures And you pay the cost, you pay the cost To the next generation, Merry Christmas You're working harder than ever now --- Making Do - Lake Street Dive
