What if the truth is required
But your tongue's dried and you can't get it out now?
What if you're floating away
But you get too high and you can't come back down?
Up, up and away
Looking down at the rest of the flocks to the down, down back
What if you oughtta go home
But you bump again, and you bump again

Most of us just won't make it
Most of us just gotta fake it
But ninety's closer and
Ninety nine is almost true
Ninety nine and half, it just won't do
It just won't do
It just won't do, ooh, ooh, ooh
It just won't do

What if your man steps out
And you're stuck witht the junk and you're working another plan down?
Oh, I thought I told you before
You never take it so far that you can't take it back down
But if you wanna fix something broken and mended
It's bad enough we exist on stolen land
'Cause if you just came over the past, she says
What the hell you talking about? Of course you can

Ooh
Most of us just won't make it
Most of us just gotta fake it
Someone right the wrongs, oh
Someone sing a song to kill my blues
Ninety nine and half, it just won't do
It just won't do
It just won't do, ooh, ooh, ooh
It just won't do
