I've been trying to work these lyrics out for years but what a story:
What do you do? Bonzo Do Dog Band.
What do you do?
I don't know, but I know
I do it every day
Why do you do it?
I don't know, but I know
I do it anyway
I do what I do, indeed I do
I do what I do, every day
Indeed I do
I do what I do, indeed I do
I do what I do, every day
I do what I do, I am what I am
We are what we are, we do what we can
What do you do?
I don't know, but I know
I do it everyday
Why do you do it?
I don't know, but I know
I do it anyway
I do what I do, indeed I do
I do what I do, everyday
Indeed I do

This is from The Saw Doctors. I love the sentiment. All Irish musicians are asked why don't they write a political song blaa, blaa.. this is their response.
Freedom Fighters
When a man walks out of his house one day
Looks up to the deep blue sky
Thinks about his past
And looks to the future
And then the answer sparkles in his eye
Oh yes we?re freedom fighters with mandolins
We?re not here for to blow you away
We?ve got songs in our hearts
And guitars in our hands
And we?re looking for peace
Some fine day
If you?re goin' up north or way down south
Or west to Galway bay
Keep an open heart
With lots of love
Then you?ll find people on your way
They?ll be freedom fighters with mandolins
They won?t be here for to blow you away
They?ll have songs in their hearts
And guitars in their hands
And they?re looking for some peace
Some fine day
Well he found the answer it was short and sweet
Crystal for anyone to see
That if your soul is free
And your heart is in the right place
Then you know you?re headin? down the right street

For me the John Cale version is very pure and beautiful.
