Lyrics
D.I.Y. OR DIE Written by John Gary Bovay ©1995 (Saxophone allegedly alludes to the vocal melody.) VERSE 1: Those days of punching a clock. And working for someone else. Have been replaced by a pressing need. To learn how to spell.. CHORUS A: D.I.Y. or Die..., D.I.Y. or Die... You gotta try, try and try... D.I.Y. or Die. VERSE 2: Ask yourself what are the things you know how to do. Then go with the one, that you can get into! CHORUS A: D.I.Y. or Die..., D.I.Y. or Die... You gotta try, try and try... D.I.Y. or Die. VERSE 3: The whole world digs a cash register's ring. Learn how to make or do something. And hear them sing! CHORUS A: D.I.Y. or Die..., D.I.Y. or Die... You gotta try, try and try... D.I.Y. or Die. BREAK A VERSE 4: The welfare state is comin' to a rapid end. And the only-real-thing-left-upon, which-you-can-depend, is: CHORUS A: D.I.Y. or Die..., D.I.Y. or Die... You gotta try, try and try... D.I.Y. or Die. VERSE 5: Instead of sitting on your ass. And begging out on the street. You'd better show some class. And learn to stand on your own two feet. CHORUS C (Because it's) D.I.Y. or Die..., D.I.Y. or Die... You gotta try, try and try... D.I.Y. or Die. VERSE 6: God helps those who help themselves. I swear that it's true. If you try to help yourself. Then God will try to help you. CHORUS C: D.I.Y. or Die..., (Yeah...) D.I.Y. or Die... You gotta try, try and try... D.I.Y. or Die.... BREAK B VERSE 7: If you can't even bo-ther gettin' up and outta bed. Then-you-might-as-well-just-lay-there. 'Cause-you're-already-dead! CHORUS A: D.I.Y. or Die..., D.I.Y. or Die... You gotta try, try and try... D.I.Y. or Die. VERSE 8: Those days of punching that clock. And working for someone else. Have been replaced by a pres-sing need. To learn how to SELL! CHORUS D: D.I.Y. or Die..., D.I.Y. or Die... You gotta try, try and try...... REFRAIN: D.I.Y. or Die... D.I.Y. or Die... D.I.Y. or Die... D.I.Y. or DIE! ENDING END.
