Do the right thing do the right thing
Do it all the time do it all the time
Make yourself right, nevermind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering
I see you up again, wandering so diligent-
ly crossing your t's as though it weren't irrelevant. 
They say formality, this is what they really meant:
they can be the walk and we can be the pavement
Do the right thing do the right thing
Do it all the time do it all the time
Make yourself right, nevermind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering
Look what you're up against, all the disingenuous.
They wave you along
and say there's always room for us.
But we know better than that
to take them serious. Still don't let them make
you bitter in the process.
And when the light is up, this is how ought to be:
We'll make it alright, they'll come around eventually.
They say it's nothing but that ain't the reality,
They may take us on but they can never take us easy.
Cuz they ain't moving, they're just moving around
So if you love yourself, you better get out
get out, get out
now
do the right thing do the right thing
do it all the time do it all the time
make yourself right, nevermind them
don't you know you're not the only one suffering
