Analysis of Doing what's right
Doing what's right
Takes more effort
Than doing what's wrong
It's like hearing a good tune
With lyrics that's wrong
It's like a big pair of pants
With no belt to hold them on
It's like watching TV in black and white
With no color shown
It's like watching a good movie
That went off too soon
It's like going to sleep
With no bed to lay on
It's that awkward move
With no legs to stand on
It's like asking yourself
What is wrong what is wrong
When nothing is going on .
