- What's The Use LyricsGetting away from all the things that need doing
Lazily here to lose the afternoon
Lying around here on the ground
It's as close to getting up as I can go
Taking a chance to free myself from my worries
Cover them well enough and no one sees
Nobody knows until they show
And the only thing to do is try to cover them again
(*) Hurry yourself, what’s the use?
Mountains of wealth, I refuse
To be somebody’s slave for a dime
I’ve got plenty of mountains
I’m lookin’ to find, spending my time
Lying around, here on the ground
It's as close to getting up as I can go
Pleasing myself is all that really needs doing
Everything else begins but never ends
Listen to me and you’ll agree
That a man is better off
If he has come to realize
Repeat (*) twice
Lazily here to lose the afternoon
Lying around here on the ground
It's as close to getting up as I can go
Taking a chance to free myself from my worries
Cover them well enough and no one sees
Nobody knows until they show
And the only thing to do is try to cover them again
(*) Hurry yourself, what’s the use?
Mountains of wealth, I refuse
I’ve got plenty of mountains
I’m lookin’ to find, spending my time
Lying around, here on the ground
It's as close to getting up as I can go
Pleasing myself is all that really needs doing
Everything else begins but never ends
Listen to me and you’ll agree
That a man is better off
If he has come to realize
Repeat (*) twice
Facts about What's The Use
✔️
What's The Use is written by Richard Lynn Carpenter, John Bettis.
✔️

✔️
When we think about what all of this might truly mean, in 'What's The Use,' a composition by the Carpenters, the message is that the singers are turning their backs on the very high society and the material things the world has to offer and are rather going the way of personal freedom and self-fulfillment. The imagery of 'mountains of wealth,' where only the rich and famous can do the hard work of getting to them and who thus remain caught up in their pursuits, symbolizes the said materiality that the song's narrator will not even pretend to be ...whirl around the passing-heights and 'mountains' of their own to find and explore. With so much freedom and enlightenment, the song has also reflected, through its lyrics, 'solitude,' and 'inspiration' as the major upsides that come with the whole experience. The lyrics of the song, simultaneously, bring forth the need for escapism and leisure, the non-acceptance of materialism and self-reliance, self-discovery and independence. The lyrics express escapism and materialism rejected mostly by adults. The way is not harsh at all but the underlying themes imply a PG rating for parental guidance.
