[Verse 1]
G Throwing candy out to the crowd C D Dragging down the main G The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth C F Who's always got something to say G You're sitting around at home now C D Waiting for your brother to call Dm G I saw him down in the alley Fm G Having had enough of it all
[Chorus]
C Am Fm Dm Fm G Said you can do what you want to whenever you want to C Am Fm Dm Fm G You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
[Verse 2]
G C All spit and spite, you're up all night D And down every day G A tired man with only hours to go C F Just waiting to be taken away G Getting into the back of a car C D For candy from some stranger Dm G Fm Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes G Full of smoldering anger
[Chorus]
C Am Fm Dm Fm G You can do what you want to whenever you want to C Am Fm Dm Fm G You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you C Am Now you can do what you want to whenever you want to C Am Do what you want to whenever you want to G E Do what you want to whenever you want to Am D Though it doesn't mean a thing F Fm Big nothing
