"Starfish Aim (Do, Do, Do)"

Stepped out the house.
Same old shit. 
Walked out aloud,
in to it. Woke up!
About: half-way 'round 
the spiral my perfect-straight street 
goes down, and I knew it 

then: it's not my part. 

The exact thing, I had from the start. 
True, in a dream of stinging sand. 
You reach down, pick up one, 
where does it land? 

I had to do, do, do 
a little good, can't 
do all the good, got 
to leave a little good for you 
To do, do, do a little good. 
Can't make all the good, 
even if it's only for us two 
there'll still be: 

Way too much good

in this world 

to do. 

Out in the street, it's so damn bad 
Bloody, and sweet, in each damn flag 
we fly overhead, look out below! 

And that's just what she said: 
while cleaning the beaches, stoop 
down not to conquer, just don't trust 
the leeches to do, do, do a little good 

Can't do all the good!
Got to leave a little good for you, to 
Do, Do, Do a little good, just a little 
good, every day, just between us two 

there'll still be. 

Way too much good 
in this world 
to do. 

HEY, there's another one, hey! 
Awe, look at how bad, and ohh there's 
too many laid out in the sand, so 
why even bend a bit? Makes

no 

difference. 

But if it matters 

to this one, and
it matters to this one,
and it matters 
to this one...

Then it matters! 

it matters 

If it matters to this one, 
and it matters to this one, 
and it matters to this one, 

Then it matters to this one, too. 
To-do: a little good 

Can't do all the good 
Gotta leave a little good for you 
to do, Do, DO 

...a little good, just one little good,  
any way! Just between us two 
there'll still be: way too much good 

in this world 

to do.
