They laugh at pain

Above all other things

Wives and warriors

But people never done a good thing

Am
They grudge, they sue
Am
They guilt, they do
   Dm
As little as they can
     F
They drink, they gloat

They’d sink the boat
Am
Before they think to plan
Am
They’re addicted to convenience

We’ve been bad and we’ve been shameful

A person is all right

A person is all right
  F               E
A person is all right;
     Am
But people never done a good thing
