about
Co-written by Sonia Deleo & Lisa Jacobs
lyrics
you better not walk too tall
everybody likes it better when you stay small
you run run run
yeah you run to the bitter end
you questions whether running is your foe or your only friend
you're too young to know
better figure out the future before you grow too old
you work work work
claw your way up the cold brick wall
you break that ceiling but the glass cuts you as it falls
you're trying to do it all
who made these rules
come on, it's me and you
we must be fools
to think that we can do
everything for everyone
we wage this war that can't be won
let's face the truth
we can't do it all
they're telling you to behave
when you smile you're flirting when you frown you're much too grave
so you hide hide hide
yeah you lie to yourself instead
what you gonna do when all that lying leaves your spirit dead
you're trying to do it all
who made these rules
come on, it's me and you
we must be fools
to think that we can do
everything for everyone
we wage this war that can't be won
let's face the truth
we can't do it all
speak up shut up
too loud not loud enough
burn bright hide your light
down to earth and out of sight
short skirt collared shirt
sway the vote know your worth
are you in are you out
i ain't in or out, still trying to do it all
we made these rules
can't do it all
we must be fools
just can't do it all
everything for everyone
we wage this war that can't be won
let's face the truth
we won't do it all
