Do The Right Thing
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.
I started out so well
I had my mind made up then I slipped and fell
Now I’m starting to feel like a tree
And the wind keeps on crashing into me
It’s hard to do the right thing
All the noise around me makes my head spin
When everybody’s telling you what to do
It’s best to stick to your plan and just follow through
I try to listen to the voice within
He’s been right before when I was ready to give in
I haven’t always made the best choice you see
But this time I’d better know what’s good for me
It’s hard to do the right thing
All the noise around makes my head spin
When everybody’s telling you what to do
It’s best to stick to your plan and just say: Screw you
They say good things come in threes
So I’d better start before I freeze
I know by doing this I could lose it all
But at least I can say I made my own call
It’s hard to do the right thing
All the noise around me makes my head spin
When everybody’s telling you what to do
It’s best to stick to your plan and just say
Oh, it’s hard to do the right thing
And it's so much easier to give in
When everybody, everybody's telling you what to do
It’s best to stick to your plan and just say: Screw you
Screw you
