Do the Right Thing
You saw that boy go down
Yeah, he was some brazen brat
Beligerent, I guess
But you did not expect
Big Jack to pull his gun
On just a kid
..unarmed
The story Jack made up
The spin that he put on
Believable, I guess
Not paid a second thought
But that switchblade he "found"
Never threatened
..anyone
Now it's time to prove you're not
Just part of the machine
And do the right thing
You waste in bed, awake
Those lies, those little snakes
Writhing in your gut
Crawling to get out
You're Dad - he's so long gone
You know what he would say:
"That price - ain't yours
..to pay"
Do the right thing
Is that blue line so thick
The truth can't cut through it?
Do the right thing
{br}
Not something that you ate
Just more o' them twisting snakes
You try flushin' them away
But more just take their place
More just take their place
Do the right thing
Is that blue line so thick
That truth can't cut through it?
Do the right thing
Do the right thing.
