The Common Decency Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

From video stew 

May I submit for, for your consideration 

A thought was born from, from desperation? 

I mean, now all ya gotta do is take a minute to see, 

The world we're living in's not trouble free 

The common decency to do what you can 

In some small way to help your fellow man 

To try to make some sort of contribution 

Not be part of the problem, but part of the solution 

The common decency, now is that still in existence? 

A little bit would go, would go a healthy distance 

And head us all into the right direction, 

Common decency could stand some further inspection 

This thought is vague, I know 

And I know the chances are 

And I know that there's a chance 

This thought might not get far 

Just give the thought a shot 

A shot will not lose sight 

The world we're living in 

Won't lose it's troubles overnight 

The common decency, just lend a hand 

In some small way there's such a great demand 

A great demand for any hand you can land 

And one by one we watch the troubles end 

The common decency, now is that still in existence? 

A little bit would go, would go a healthy distance 

And head us all into the right direction, 

Common decency could stand some further inspection 

The common decency to do what you can 

In some small way to help your fellow man 

Try to make some sort of contribution 

Not be part of the problem but part of the solution 

The common decency, now is that still in existence? 

A little bit would go, would go a healthy distance 

And head us all into the right direction, 

Common decency could stand some further inspection
