Don’t You Do Things That You Hate (thank you, Simple Minds / Jordan Peterson)!

This song is inspired by Jordan Peterson’s rule “Do not do what you hate.” Be authentic, don’t violate your own conscience, seek to live from a place of unity and integration in your heart and mind. Thank you, Simple Minds, for your great music! May God bless you, protect you, and give you peace!

Music: “Don’t You” (Simple Minds)

Words by me: Hey, hey, hey, hey! Ooh, whoa! Won’t you consider your life? You don’t have to violate your own conscience. We all have troubles and doubts. Try to be authentic, both inside and out, and love well, be real, and be true. Think of all the choices that life wants to offer you. Discord may tear you apart. Welcome unity down in your heart, fully. Don’t you do things that you hate. Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t. Don’t you do things that you hate. Could you aim just higher? Stumble forward, never give up. Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling down, down, down. Do you know who you are? Change what you can, or just get by? Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling down, down, down, down. Hey, hey, hey, hey! Ooh, whoa! Don’t you try to pretend to be someone else. That will hurt you in the end. Don’t fear – take down your defenses. Know the truth – it will set you free, ah! Don’t you do things that you hate. That would bring chaos, degenerating who you are. Disunity will tear you apart. Freedom’s when you’re integrated in your heart, really. Don’t you do things that you hate. Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t. Don’t you do things that you hate. Don’t live in a lie. Seek what’s true and right. Don’t live in a lie. Seek what’s true and right. Don’t do what you hate.
