People Never Done a Good Thing

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
A person is all right
A person is all right
A person is all right
But people never done a good thing
They grudge, they sue, they guilt
They do as little as they can
They drink, they gloat, they’d sink the boat
They’re in before they think to plan
They’re addicted to convenience
“In case of stairway, use elevator.”
Cause someone take our toys away
We’ve been bad and we’ve been shameful
A person is all right
A person is all right
A person is all right
But people never done a good thing
You’re only free when you’re asleep
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
A person is all right
A person is all right
A person is all right
A person is
But people never done a good thing
A person is all right
A person is all right
A person is all right
But people never done a good thing
