Do Something Wrong
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do something wrong, Baby, you're too right for me,
Do something wrong, Baby, you're too right for me,
Like don't be afraid to cry where the world can see.
Don't be afraid to holler when you're hurt,
Don't be afraid to holler when you're hurt,
Break your face and put your neat feet in the dirt.
Don't be afraid to walk in some parade,
Don't be afraid to walk in some parade,
You can die spotless, you can die afraid.
Wear your heart on a placard in the street,
Wear your heart on a placard in the street,
When you're laid out, it's time to be discreet.
The ones that bleed you like to see you nice,
The ones that bleed you like to see you nice,
If you want to be free, you've got to pay the price.
Do something strong, Baby, you're too sweet for me,
Do something strong, Baby, you're too sweet for me,
Don't be ashamed of words like liberty.
