When I began writing “Doing The Right Thing” it wasn’t about my grandmother or my mother, then it suddenly took a turn...
Doing the Right Thing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And they're making children
And they're making love
With their old excuses
We are built for reproduction
But I find it soothing
When I am confined
I'm just fearing one day soon
I'll lose my mind
[Chorus]
Then I'll lose my children
Then I'll lose my love
Then I'll sit in silence
Let the pictures soak
Out of televisions
Float across the room
Whisper into one ear
Out the other one
[Verse 2]
Then I'll take my clothes off
And I'll walk around
Because it's so nice outside
And I like the way the sun feels
And when it's dark
I'll call out in the night for my mother
But she isn't coming back for me
Cause she's already gone
But you will not tell me that
Cause you know it hurts me every time you say it
And you know you are doing the right thing
You must know you are doing the right thing
[Chorus]
I have lost my children
I have lost my love
I just sit in silence
Let the pictures soak
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
Out of televisions
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
And they're making children
Everyone's in love
I just sit in silence
Let the pictures soak
