The Right Thing’s the Right Thing To Do

Hello

I’m Jess

Jess Doinmyjob

 

I may not be a leader

But I love my job

At the FBI

Though it’s gotten harder

And harder

For me to say why

 

Got 20 years in

But with what’s goin’ on

Don’t want to stand out

Just want to blend in

Just want to move on

 

Just give me a task

I just do what they ask

Though I know

And I fear

Things I see from in the hall

Things I hear

As a fly on the wall

Not objective

More obstructive

A biased history

Lacking any integrity

And it’s plain to see

It’s all carried out illegally

 

But who am I

It’s not my mob

But I’ve bills to pay

So I need this job

 

So who am I

I’m Jess Doinmyjob

 

I can’t reconcile

I can’t sleep at night

No excuse

But not strong enough

To do what’s right

 

It’s who I am

Jess Doinmyjob

 

Hello

I’m Mike

Mike B. Awhistleblower

 

I work in the Justice Department

Though lately, much more

The Injustice Department

It’s just not me

I don’t like what I hear

I don’t like what I see

 

Things I hear

As a fly on the wall

But if I speak out

I risk losing it all

But things are not objective

They’ve gotten more obstructive

A biased history

Lacking any integrity

And it’s plain to see

It’s all carried out illegally

 

But who am I

No one will ever know

And retirement’s on its way

Only a few years to go

 

But I can’t reconcile

And I can’t sleep at night

But it’s so risky

Next they’ll be frisking me

Trying to convince myself

To do what’s right

 

So I ask myself

Who am I

 

I’m Mike B. Awhistleblower

And I might be a whistleblower

 

The right thing’s

Usually the hardest to do

But the one thing, always

The right thing is

It’s always the right thing to do
