People Never Done A Good Thing

[Verse 1] They lie, they steal They blog, they feel Entitled to too much They want, they drill They drive, they kill The wildlife and such They laugh at pain They cheat, they’re vain Above all other things They’re doctors, lawyers Wives and warriors Misfits, pawns and kings [Chorus] A person is all right A person is all right A person is all right But people never done a good thing [Verse 2] They grudge, they sue They guilt, they do As little as they can They drink, they gloat They’d sink the boat Before they think to plan They’re addicted to convenience “In case of stairway, use elevator” Can someone take our toys away We’ve been bad, we’ve been shameful [Chorus] A person is all right A person is all right A person is all right But people never done a good thing [Bridge] You’re only free when you’re asleep, baby When you’re asleep, baby And we choose to be misled We’re instructions that want to be misread “Politician” is a fancy word for crook Most journalists cook the books and fail up And most of us do as little as we can [Chorus] A person is all right A person is all right A person is all right A person is A person is all right A person is all right A person is all right But people never done a good thing
