Dm                       Am
Flies are buzzing around my head
Em            D
Vultures circling my bed
Dm               Am       Em    D
Picking up every last crumb
Dm                       Am
The big fish eat the little ones
Em                       D
The big fish eat the little ones
Dm               Am       Em    D
Not my problem give me some

CHORUS
         D              (Am)  Bm  
You can try the best you can
         D             D     
If you try the best you can
     Dm              C     D
The best you can is not enough

This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just crawled out of the swamp
This one drops a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on an animal farm

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
(x2)

I'd really like to help you man
I'd really like to help you 

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is not enough
The best you can is not enough
The best you can is not enough



good song's ...never end
thank to noname of Version2 for lyrics

No Picture DemolitionLover Wanna Be	#1 by DemolitionLover ^^v^^ at Jul 12, 1979 at 12:30 AM EST
	going along with what debaser2002 said, the "dinosaurs roaming the earth" could mean that thats the way its always been since the beginning, OR dinosaurs roaming the earth could symobilize the corporate monopoly taking over like dinosaurs roaming the earth...just a ramble.

No Picture Alex Wanna Be	#2 by Alex Jurek at Mar 30, 1980 at 11:13 AM EST
	Like so much of Radiohead's music, clearly this song is a reaction to corporate culture. Since these guys went to Oxford, they probebly had a lot of exposure to their peers' aspirations, ambitions, and conformities. Clearly, a nod to Orwell as well as Pink Floyd. P.S. please don't post how much you like a band - obviously you like them or you wouldn't be posting to their song!

No Picture D-backs, 2006 w Rhythm Player	#3 by D-backs, 2006 world series champions! !! at May 22, 1989 at 3:51 PM EST
	This is the point in the album where Radiohead's trademark paranoia really kicks in. Thom wails: "The big fish eat the little ones x2 Not my problem give me some" Fear enters, and knowledge of evil, and is dealt with by being shut out and ignored.

No Picture anthony Average	#4 by anthony clark at Jan 12, 1991 at 1:05 PM EST
	i absolutely love the part that goes "fodder for the animals". the way he sings that is so cool.

No Picture Beaver Average	#5 by Beaver Butt at Nov 16, 1991 at 10:17 AM EST
	To me the way he sings of somebody being optimistic but vultures are still circling... it just sort of seems sarcastic and as if to say that no matter how hard you try it's all the same in the end. You can try the best you can if you try the best you can the best you can is good enough...
