Do More Good
cordovas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ones who just long to get out of control;
The ones that′ll call and the ones that'll fold
And everyone standing ′round the table.
The meek and the mild, the weak and the wild,
The ones who won't speak this mean to a child;
Those who have lived with their feet to the fire
I love 'em all, ain′t gonna quit,
That goes double for you.
Gonna do more good, gonna talk less shit,
That′s about all I can do.
The free and chained, the simple and plain,
The ones who just can't seem to hit where they aim;
The ones that get by on their family name,
Those who have no one to call on.
The freaks and the prideful, the peaks and the eyefuls,
The ones who just wait ′til their dreams are all stifled;
Most too afraid to admit they been lied to,
Martyrs with no sword to fall on.
I love 'em all, ain′t gonna quit,
That goes double for you.
Gonna do more good, gonna talk less shit,
That's about all I can do.
I love ′em all, ain't gonna quit,
That goes double for you.
Gonna do more good, gonna talk less shit,
That's about all I can do.
Gonna do more good, gonna talk less shit,
That′s about all I can do.

There are a couple I’m not sure of 100%
The young and the old
The sick and the cold
The ones who just long to get out of control
The ones that will call
And the ones that will fold
And everyone standing around the table
The meek and the mild
The weak and the wild
The ones who won’t speak this mean (?) to a child
Those who have lived with their feet to the fire
And forgave every miserable jailer
Yeah I love them all
Ain’t gonna quit
That goes double for you
Gonna do more good
Gonna talk less shit
That’s about all I can do
The free and the chained
The simple the plain
The ones that just can’t seem to hit where they aim
The ones who get by on their family name
And those who have no one to call on
The freaks and the prideful
The beats (? Beaks?) and the eyefuls
The ones who just wait till their dreams are all stifled
Those too afraid to admit they been lied to
The martyrs with no sword to fall on
