When it's all going wrong, what's going on?
You just go along, like a bird on the wing
Didn't mean to cause pain, you've gone and done it again
A familiar refrain; you've got to do the right thing
When the pressure's on and you feel like it's expected
That you'll fall in line, one more time
Do the right thing, do the right thing
I'm the same as you, tell me what can we do
To take away this wall between us all
In a different life, another husband or wife
A different child, where do we fall
Do the right thing, do the right thing
All the hurting inside, too deep to hide
How you tried, it burned a hole in your heart
You left it too late, 'til it turned into hate
You couldn't wait to tear it apart
When the pressure's on and you feel like it's expected
That you'll fall in line, one more time
Do the right thing, do the right thing
When the pressure's on and you feel like it's expected
That you'll fall in line, one more time
Do the right thing, do the right thing
