[Verse 1]
Forty or fifty horses lying in a lot
Red raincoats and rifles, an epidemic has been stopped
Scientist speaks what are you wondering about?
He got where he is by turning lab mice inside out

[Chorus]
The things we do
And have to do
The things I do for you
And what you do for me too
The "yeah, but I..."
And any other excuse
And if you take it for given
Then what's the use

[Verse 2]
All his possessions around him in his house
Lying beside him his companion and his spouse
And in the morning, he dress and go to hell
All activated by a little timer bell

[Chorus]
The things we do
And have to do
The things I do for you
And what you do for me too
The "yeah, but I..."
And any other excuse
And if you take it for given
Then what's the use
