You've been acting like you're acting in some movie scripted life
And it's wonderful how it all falls apart
And you wait now for your angel to fly into your chaos
While you sit and wait, he'll grant you a brand new start

And there's got to be a sign, there's just got to be a sign
You keep waiting for a sign; you keep waiting

But no bells will ring, so do the right thing
Life's the worst and life's the best, and it's the only game in town
So dance and sing, and do the right thing. Yeah!

Now, you're face to face with barriers that no one can endure
But you're waking up this morning just the same
And it looks like your life's mission is to suffer with no cure
While you're talking to yourself you take the blame

And you take so much to heart; it weighs heavy on your heart
Yeah, now everything is tied onto your heart

And now it's hanging by a string, so do the right thing
Face it now, and ease the slack, cut it off or pull it back,
Just keep moving, and do the right thing. Yeah!

Now, your childhood and innocence has slipped so far away
Ain't it funny how you just can't run and hide?
All the wisdom of the ages has eluded you, except the part about
Being like the little child that's inside

Well, you're not a little child, but you're like a little child
It's your party, it's your playground if it's what you want to do

Get up on your swing, and do the right thing
Life is short and life is long, and it ends just like every song
You're going to sing, so do the right thing. Yeah!
