(Billy Bob Thornton/JD Andrew)
You drove to work today and cursed your job
You shook your head at the desperate angry mob
You shed a tear at the beggars empty hand
You wondered whatever happened to this land
Did you put all your thoughts together
And sit down and write a letter
Did you do anything today to make it better
What did you do today
What did you do today
What did you do today to make it better
You drove home from your work and cursed your life
You couldn't get a single word from your lonely wife
You change the channel cos' you can't watch children bleed
Then you stared at books that you're afraid to read
Did you put all your thoughts together
And sit down and write a letter
Did you do anything today to make it better
What did you do tonight
What did you do tonight
What did you do tonight to make it better
You just keep growing sadder
But tears can't climb a ladder
You keep banking on tomorrow
You gotta lend a hand to borrow
You woke up just in time to catch the news
You cried when you saw the people fill the pews
It's all a shame but you're just a broken man
Too small and tired to try and make a plan
Did you put all your thoughts together
And sit down and write a letter
Did you do anything today to make it better
What did you do this year
What did you do this year
What did you do this year to make it better
What did you do today
What did you do today
What did you do today to make it better
