    Lyrics :)
    Throwing candy out to the crowd
    Dragging down the main
    The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth
    Who's always got something to say
    You're sitting around at home now waiting for your brother to call
    I saw him down in the alley
    Having had enough of it all
    Said you can do what you want to whenever you want to
    You can do what you want to there's no one to stop you
    All spit and spite you're up all night and down every day
    A tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away
    Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger
    Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger
    You can do what you want to whenever you want to
    You can do what you want to there's no one to stop you
    Now you can do what you want to whenever you want to
    Do what you want to whenever you want to
    Do what you want to whenever you want to
    Though it doesn't mean a thing
    Big nothing
