There might be a little bit of The Strokes in there… might even be a little bit of The Beatles in certain places. One thing that’s for sure is that “Don’t Do It” is one hard core tune! Punk Rock at its core, “Don’t Do It” will mash guitars, smash some drums and showcase some pretty clean, but none-the-less, aggressive vocals as Jessica Leia belts out lyrics which chide certain professionals that just may have, possibly sold their souls to the Devil!
lyrics
Verse 1
Hey Preacher, Hey P – P – P – Preacher
Rumor has it that you’re gonna help me find my way to heaven
But what yu doin’ hey preacher what yu doin’?
Teachin’ hate and fornicatin’ in the filthy devil’s den. You’re in the devil’s den!
Chorus
The Devil offered all the world to you. In exchange he said your soul would do. Then had his minions pat you on the back and say:
“Do it just do it. Do it just do it. Do it just do it.”
Then the Devil had you sign in blood, leaning in so that all that you could hear was, “Do it, just do it, just do it.”
So, you couldn’t hear the angel there whisperin’ in your other ear, “Don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it.”
Verse 2
Hey Doctor, hey D – D – D – Doctor
Rumor has it that you got the antidote to make me well.
But what you doin’ hey doctor what you doin’?
Countin’ your sadistic dollars while you put the sick through hell. You put the sick through hell.
Chorus
The Devil offered all the world to you. In exchange he said your soul would do. Then had his minions pat you on the back and say,
“Do it just do it. Do it just do it. Do it just do it.”
Then the Devil had you sign in blood, leaning in so that all that you could hear was, “Do it, just do it, just do it”
So, you couldn’t hear the angel there whisperin’ in your other ear, “Don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it.”
Chorus
The Devil offered all the world to you. In exchange he said your soul would do. Then had his minions pat you on the back and say,
“Do it just do it. Do it just do it. Do it just do it. Do it just do it.” But don’t do it, don’t do it.
Do it just do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Do it just do it. Don’t do it, don’t do it.
Do it, just do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Do it just do it. Don’t do it, don’t do it.
