I Can Do Anything
3OH!3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can do an album
Or we can do it viral
Spread it like an S-T-D
You got back in high school
I could run for president
Or just run the block
I could be a stoner or,
Shit I forgot
I could be in Athlete
I could be in new york cabby
I could be your boyfriend
In the backseat
Pass me a beer
Or a bottle of gin
And shit, I could be your best friend

[Chorus]
I ain't gonna take no shit from no one
I ain't gonna take no lip from no one
You ain't gonna try to get me to hold on
It's golden now
But will I slow down
Anything, anything, anything I want
Anything, anything, anything I want
Anything, anything, anything I want
It's golden now,
But will I slow down

I could be your dad,
Actually I probably am
I could drive a Ferrari
Or I could be fixing a trans am
I could write a bad checks
I could smoke cigarettes
I could be valedictorian
Havin' no sex
I could smell the roses
Or watch as it decomposes
I could be one of those models who shove coke up their noses
I could live in the streets
Or I could rock in a mansion
I could live on the beach
Or I could die from the dancing

[Chorus]

Slow down
Slow down
Slow down

'Cause I can do
Anything, anything, anything
I want
Anything, anything, anything
I want
We will never stop
We will never stop
'Cause I can do anything anything I want





[Chorus: x3]

I love how the generation that has Glee (you know, that show that can have Rick Springfield and Journey in the same episode) can sit back, watch an episode of that, and then call this old school. Bravo other members of my generation, bravo.
