Hi,

Rebooted a dormant song from 3 years ago. I’m a better song writer, arranger, mixer and musician now, so I decided to have another go at it. Plus, I wanted to really play the solo instead of using Shredder 2!

Feedback welcome:

JONATHAN LINTON – THE RIGHT THING
(Words by Jonathan Linton, Music by Jonathan Linton)

Circumstance is so unkind
The wrong place at the right time
You know it all, you’re intertwined
A moral decision consumes your mind
Those that know, got you in their sight
No escape from the helpless plight
Angel on the left shoulder, devil on right
Damned if you’re wrong, damned if you’re right

Good deeds didn’t prepare you for this
Innocence gone, give it one last kiss
The righteous path won’t pull you though
Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do
The dark side it sucks you in
Innocence lost, the ultimate sin
The path of light won’t pull you though
Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do

Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do
Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do

High in their pulpit they preach to us
Holier then thou, in their words we trust
And then they’re caught in a boyish lust
Hushed by the leaders, it’s so unjust
How can they judge, how can they condemn
Self preservation’s built in all men
They’d do the same if it happened to them
Moral decision won’t help you then

Good deeds didn’t prepare you for this
Innocence gone, give it one last kiss
The righteous path won’t pull you though
Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do
The dark side it sucks you in
Innocence lost, the ultimate sin
The path of light won’t pull you though
Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do

Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do
Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do
Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do
Sometimes the right thing’s the wrong thing to do
Urrrghhh!
