You Haven't Done Nothin'
Unveiling Deception: The Resonance of 'You Haven't Done Nothin''
Lyrics
We are amazed but not amused
We're impressed but not entertained
By all the things you say that you'll do
Your promises lack follow-through
Though much concerned but not involved
We're worried but not actively participating
With decisions that are made by you
We're not part of the choices you make
But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
We're exhausted from hearing your rhetoric
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
Tired of hearing about your intentions to change
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
If you genuinely want our opinions
"You haven't done nothing"!
"You haven't accomplished anything"!
It's not too cool to be ridiculed
It's not pleasant to be mocked
But you brought this upon yourself
You've brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
The world is tired of placation
We want the truth and nothing else
We demand truth, nothing less
And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
We're fed up with hearing the same promises
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
Tired of hearing about your intentions to change
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
If you genuinely want our opinions
"You haven't done nothing"!
"You haven't accomplished anything"!
Jackson 5 join along with me say
The Jackson 5 join in
Doo doo wop - hey hey hey
Vocal sounds, exclamations
Doo doo wop - wow wow wow
Expressive vocalizations
Doo doo wop - co co co
More expressive vocalizations
Doo doo wop - naw naw naw
Further vocal sounds
Doo doo wop - bum bum bum
Continuation of vocal sounds
Doo doo wop
Reiteration of vocal sounds
We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
We'd rather not confront this distressing reality
That's becoming real life
Referring to a troubling situation becoming reality
But when mislead who knows a person's mind
When misled, a person's mindset can change drastically
Can turn as cold as ice un hum
One's mind can become cold and indifferent
Why do you keep on making us hear your song
Questioning the continuous repetition of promises
Telling us how you are changing right from wrong
Tired of hearing about your intentions to change
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
If you genuinely want our opinions
"You haven't done nothing"!
"You haven't accomplished anything"!
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
Jackson 5 sing along again say
The Jackson 5 sing together again
Doo doo wop
Repetition of vocal sounds
Doo doo wop - oh
Continuation of expressive vocalizations
Doo doo wop - co co co
More expressive vocalizations
Doo doo wop - sing it baby
Encouragement to sing
Doo doo wop - bum bum bum
Continuation of vocal sounds
Doo doo wop - um
Additional vocal sounds
Sing it loud for your people say
Encouragement to sing loudly
Doo doo wop - um um um
Further encouragement to stand up and be heard
Doo doo wop - stand up be counted, say
More vocal sounds
Doo doo wop - co co co
Continuation of expressive vocalizations
Doo doo wop - ow
More expressive vocalizations
Doo doo wop - bum bum bum
Continuation of vocal sounds
Doo doo wop - ah hum
Final vocal sound
