Ben Rector
Mr. Mailman
[Verse 1]
Mr. Mailman bring me a letter
Won't you tell me the news
Because I can't stand it
And you can make it better
On central avenue (yeah)
Central avenue (yeah)

[Chorus]
If you can't beat 'em, then you join 'em
If you know just what I mean
If you can't, you know how I feel
If you know just what I mean

[Verse 2]
'Cause there's a news bee
People getting angry
People losing class
'Cause it's the same old scene
And everyone is empty
Open up the past (yeah)
Open up your past

[Chorus]
If you can't beat 'em, then you join 'em
If you know just what I mean
If you can't, you know how I feel
If you know just what I oh
If you can't beat 'em, then you join 'em
If you know just what I mean
If you can't, you know how I feel
If you know just what I mean (oh, oh)

If you can't beat 'em, then you join 'em
If you know just what I mean (oh oh)
Can't beat 'em, if you can't beat 'em
If you know just what I mean
