Sometimes you've got to take the heat
If you're gonna walk down
on the mean street
Take the heat and you see it through
'Cause sometimes it comes
down to
Do what you gotta do
Sometimes it goes right down to the wire
And you might have to
walk through the fire
Walk on, boy
All the way through
Sometimes it just comes down to
Do what you gotta do
Well, there's people that'll tell you
It's just no use
And
there's people that'll tell you
That you're gonna lose
People that'll tell you
Anything you're gonna listen to
Do what you gotta do
Someday they're going to call your name
They'll come looking for
some one to blame
What's your name, boy?
Hey, you just
tell them true
'Cause they can't take the truth from you
So do what you gotta
do
Well, they'll call you a hero or a traitor
But you'll find out
that, sooner or later,
Nobody in this world is gonna do it for you
Do what you gotta do
There ain't nobody in this world
That's gonna do it for you
Do what you gotta do
