Don't Just Stand There, Do Something

She were lying in the bathroom
I was banging on the door
She was crying in a puddle
On the laminate floor
I was screaming out, 'let me in
You've had too much gin
You better come out or I'm kicking it in'
The door unlocked, my heart stopped
I froze, and she said.

Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Do something.

The 24-hour garage
And it's in my hand
As a telephone it's average
But it's worth a grand
A gang of youth
Started throwing abuse
Your money or your nikes, do I have to choose?
All pride lost, stood in my socks
I froze, and I thought.

Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Do something.

It would be useful if you knew
That everything you say and do
Potentially could change tomorrow
And if you're all still sleeping there
Without the power, without a care
Don't mention me when your alarm goes, yeah...

Life is just a beer garden
A sunny afternoon
There's always one drunk hard man
Singing out of tune
A plastic chair flies through the air
The lager tops go everywhere
The jukebox clicks, a record sticks
And we froze, everybody sang.

Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something
Don't just stand, don't just stand there
Don't just stand there, do something.

It would be useful if you knew
That everything you say and do (do something)
Potentially could change tomorrow (do something)
And if you're all still sleeping there
Without the power, without a care (do something)
Don't mention me when your alarm goes
Off...
