What's this song about?

1
Downstairs they're playing Kenton
2
The house set to swing
3
I lay in my bed
4
And listen to everything
5
Cause Leo's in rare form tonight
6
His trombone sings so sweet
7
This is the room
8
Where they all come to meet
9
He said
10
I do what I can
11
I live for the moment
12
And that's who I am
13
Yeah that's who I am
14
And isn't it good
15
If we could freeze moments in time
16
We all would
17
But I do what I can
18
I do what I can
19
Downstairs he's playing Kenton
20
The Magnavox sighs
21
But oh how the music has changed
22
In all of our lives
23
He says "nobody listens
24
To modern jazz"
25
And I'll never have what those guys have
26
He says
27
I do what I can
28
I work for a living
29
And that's who I am
30
Yeah that's who I am
31
And it's good to be alive
32
But everything's different since Leo died
33
I do what I can
34
Is this the end of the modern world
35
What could it mean for a young girl
36
Who sees the pain on his face
37
He does what he can
38
The procession on the tv screen
39
What could it possibly mean for a man
40
Who's come this far just to turn around
41
Could there still be life in Kenton's swing
42
With the Kennedys gone and everything
43
Those sad rows of houses with their optimistic colors
44
Democrat grandparents and draft-dodging brothers
45
Riots down the street and discontented mothers
46
We do what we can
47
Downstairs it's quiet
48
Less alive somehow
49
Somehow he was everything that I am now
50
And he says
51
I do what I can
52
I work for a living
53
And that's who I am
54
And that's who I am
55
But it's good to be alive
56
And these are the choices
57
We make to survive
58
You do what you can
