Yet another one based on a song by The Specials.  Again this song to me summed the time when it was written in the 1980's, but is also apt now.  Reference is made about living life without meaning, of talking without thinking, of walking the same old streets, and doing the same old stuff, over and over again. 

This is an all to easy a trap to fall into, just existing without living.  Why should I try to change my circumstances, when I do not feel there is a way out?  Why should I try to stand up for injustice, when who will listen to my voice?  Why should I try to do the best I can, when no one notices me at all?

We should all show more respect to those around us, and maybe become less self centred at the same time.  If we believe that by doing the best we can in all that we do, and by standing up for injustice, we are honouring God, then it starts to make sense.  It can be easier said than done at times, as circumstances can be trying, but by clinging onto the truth that it is God in control in the end, should make it easier to do.  There should not really be the option to Do Nothing...

Do Nothing

Lynval Golding

Each Day I walk along this lonely street
Trying to find, find a future
New pair of shoes are on my feet
Cos' fashion is my only culture

Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change

People say to me just be yourself
It makes no sense to follow fashion
How could I be anybody else
I don't try, I've got no reason

Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change

I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing

Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change

I walk along this same old lonely street
Still trying to find, find a reason
Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth
I don't complain, it's not my function

Nothing ever change, oh no
Nothing ever change

They're just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
They're just playing in a life without thinking
They talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I walk and walk, I'm dreaming
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
