Downstairs theyre playing Kenton The house set to swing I lay in my bed And listen to everything Cause Leos in rare form tonight His trombone sings so sweet This is the room Where they all come to meet He said I do what I can I live for the moment And thats who I am Yeah thats who I am And isnt it good If we could freeze moments in time We all would But I do what I can I do what I can Downstairs hes playing Kenton The Magnavox sighs But oh how the music has changed In all of our lives He says nobody listens To modern jazz And Ill never have what those guys have He says I do what I can I work for a living And thats who I am Yeah thats who I am And its good to be alive But everythings different since Leo died I do what I can Is this the end of the modern world What could it mean for a young girl Who sees the pain on his face He does what he can The procession on the TV screen What could it possibly mean for a man Whos come this far just to turn around Could there still be life in Kentons swing With the Kennedys gone and everything Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers Riots down the street and discontented mothers We do what we can Downstairs its quiet Less alive somehow Somehow he was everything that I am now And he says I do what I can I work for a living And thats who I am And thats who I am But its good to be alive And these are the choices We make to survive You do what you can
