Do Nothing Lyrics

This song was written by guitarist Lynval Golding during Thatcher's reign when alot of people had fuck all and fuck all to look forward to either. I like the picture of someone walking down an endless, lonely street, looking only for some hope at the end. Lynval makes a pretty pointed reference about racism in the police force too.

There are 2 "proper" versions of this song and the best in my opinion is the one with Jerry Dammer's Valium keyboards.
