How Do the Fools Survive? - The Doobie Brothers

Oh I hand them this life to do what they will

They've got to find their way from here

Oh show us the way

If they only knew

Oh show us the light

Oh show them what light

It shines from within they make your own day

They make your own night and sometimes they win

Oh show us the way

But they always get through

Oh show us the light

Oh why do they come and ask for more

They've got stars they don't have wishes for

They're just givin' up their blame to me

Oh how do the fools survive

I'm wonderin' why I'm wonderin' how

They're gonna bail themselves out now

Oh give us this day

I'm shakin' my head

Oh keep us through night

Oh I hand them this life to do what they will

They've got to make their way from here

Oh show us the way

If they only knew

Oh show us the light

Oh why do they come and ask for more

They've got stars they don't have wishes for

They're just givin' up their blame to me

Oh how do the fools survive

It's not like it was before

Not like it was before

When they call I won't come running

It was so long ago

I left them on their own

Oh how do the fools survive

Oh how can they come and ask for more

They've got stars they don't have wishes for

They're just givin' up their blame to me

Oh how do the fools survive
