People Never Done a Good Thing Songtext
von Patrick Stump

They lie, they steal
They blow, they feel
Entitled to too much
They want, they drill
They drive, they kill
The wildlife and such (hm)

They laugh at pain
They cheat, they′re vain
Above all other things
Oh, they're doctors, lawyers, wives and warriors
Misfits, pawns and kings

A person is alright
A person is alright
A person is alright
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
Before they'd 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

A person is alright
A person is alright
A person is alright
But people never done a good thing

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
And most journalists cook the books and fail up
And most of us do as little as we can (oh, yeah)


A person is alright
A person is alright
A person is alright
A person is (a person is alright)
A person is alright
A person is alright
A person is alright
But people never done a good thing
