What's the Use Songtext
von Carpenters

Gettin′ away from all the things that need doing
Lazily here to lose the afternoon
Lyin' around
Here on the ground
It′s as close to gettin' up as I can go

Taking the chance to free myself from my worries (free from my worries)
Cover them well enough and no one sees (no one sees)
Nobody knows
Until they show
Then the only thing to do is try to cover them again

Hurry yourself, what's the use?
Mountains of wealth, I refuse
To be somebody′s slave for a dime
I′ve got plenty of mountains I'm lookin′ to find
Spending my time


Lyin' around
Here on the ground
It′s as close to gettin' up as I can go
Pleasing myself is all that really needs doin′ (really needs doin')
Everything else begins but never ends (ooh, never ends)

Listen to me
And you'll agree
That a man is better off
If he has come to realize

Hurry yourself, what′s the use?
Mountains of wealth, I refuse
To be somebody′s slave for a dime (I've a better life in mind)
I′ve got plenty of mountains I'm lookin′ to find
Spending my time

Hurry yourself, what's the use?
Mountains of wealth, I refuse
To be somebody′s slave for a dime (I've a better life in mind)
I've got plenty of mountains I′m lookin′ to find
Spending my time
