The Bottom Line "Don't ever tell me what I can't do! Ever!"
If there's one word I associate with LOST's John Locke, it's "destiny," but if there's one phrase, it's "Don't tell me what I can't do!" Here's a song reflecting that, to the tune of the Irish Rovers' I Don't Mind If I Do. Don’t Tell Me What I Can’t Do! You asked me to tell you my favorite phrase, The one I’ll repeat to the end of my days, The one that’s stuck with me like paper to glue. It’s the seven words “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” No you don’t, ‘cause I can. I’m a Do Anything That I Wanna Do man. My name is John Locke, and a hunter am I. Some say I’m a farmer, but that is a lie. When someone suggests it, I give him a clue When I counter with, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” No you don’t, ‘cause I can. I’m a Do Anything That I Wanna Do man. When I was a scrawny teen struggling through school, My professor said, “Listen, John. Don’t be a fool. You’re meant for this science camp. Sports aren’t for you.” But I yelled at him, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” No you don’t, ‘cause I can. I’m a Do Anything That I Wanna Do man. I wanted to discover who my long-lost dad was. They found him but said to me, “Don’t think because You share the same blood that he’ll care about you.” But I shouted back, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” No you don’t, ‘cause I can. I’m a Do Anything That I Wanna Do man. Well, I met with a woman who thought I was grand, And I was about to ask her for her hand. She said, “Drop your dad; he’ll just hurt you anew.” So I had to cry, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” No you don’t, ‘cause I can. I’m a Do Anything That I Wanna Do man. In need of renewal and fully prepared, I set off for a walkabout, but one of them dared To say that my wheels were a problem. On cue, I lashed out with, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” No you don’t, ‘cause I can. I’m a Do Anything That I Wanna Do man. Now I’m on the Island and I’ve been reborn. I'm no longer a loser, no longer forlorn. If you think of crossing me, let me review: I will always say, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!” No you don’t, ‘cause I can. I’m a Do Anything That I Wanna Do man. No you don’t, ‘cause I can. I’m a Do Anything That I Wanna Do man!
