What Shall We Do Now? (1982 Recording) Lyrics

[Punchy Instrumental Interlude]

[What Shall We Do Now?: Roger Waters]
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights, leave the lights on, drop bombs?
Do tours of the east, contract disease?
Bury bones, break up homes, send flowers from phones?
Take to drink, go to shrinks, fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure, store up leisure, but never relax at all?
With our backs to the wall

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
