Verse 1 und 2
Don’t like these people, who talk too much,
in endless meetings, they only discuss,
of every item, they make a big fuss, but when
push comes to shove, no one hops on the bus,

Regret these people, who always complain,
these tortured souls, tangled up in their pain,
most of them, move without aim, that when
times get rough, they‘re already lame …

Chorus (2 x)
Don’t say, we shoulda, don’t say, they coulda,
don’t say, I would, just get things done,
stop your complainin‘,quit your explainin‘,
for-get abstainin‘,get things done …

Verse 3 und 4
Feel for these women, who‘re bored with their lives,
despise these men, who cheat on their wifes,
so many couples, are based on a lie, but instead of being honest,
they don’t split till they die,

So many children, are in need of support,
for some of them, life will be short,
means to survive, we can always afford,
but when it comes to help, we only pray to the lord ….

Chorus (2 x)
Don’t say, we shoulda, don’t say, they coulda,
don’t say, I would, just get things done,
stop your complainin‘,quit your explainin‘,
for-get abstainin‘,get things done …
