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
