Do That Thing Lyrics

Hey man, well, look it here
We got Jesus, He's drinkin' beer
He's playin' cards, He's shootin' dice
He's drinkin' whiskey and He beats His wife

And it's the same song He always sings
He's got it all 'cause His dad's the king
The same song He always sings

He says, you can't get to Heaven
When you're doing that thing
No you, can't get to Heaven
When you do that thing

Can't get to Heaven
When you're doing that thing
No you, can't get to Heaven
When you do that thing

Now hey man, what's all this?
They nailed Him down, it's a son of a bitch
At supper last night, He's tellin' jokes
He held the table makin' fun of His folks

And it's the same song He always sings
He's got it all 'cause His dad's the king
Same song He always sings

He's singin', can't get to Heaven
When you're doin' that thing
No, you can't get to Heaven
When you do that thing

No, can't get to Heaven
When you're doin' that thing
No, you can't get to Heaven
When you do that thing

Do that thing, I said, do that thing
Do that thing, do that thing

Hey man, don't get too close
Pick up the pieces that you love most
Keep cruisin' bars with guns and knives
He's shootin' whiskey and lovin' life

And it's the same song He always sings
He's got it all and His dad's the king
Same song He always sings

He says, you can't get to Heaven
When you're doin' that thing
No, you can't get to Heaven
When you do that thing

No you, can't get to Heaven
When you're trickin' that thing
No you, can't get to Heaven
When you're doin' that thing

Do that thing, do that thing
Do that thing, do that thing, do it
Do that thing, don't do that thing
Don't do that thing

Headstones is a Canadian punk-influenced alternative rock band that began in 1987 in the bars of Kingston, Ontario. The band was initially active until 2003, subsequently reforming in 2011. The band consists of vocalist Hugh Dillon, guitarist Trent Carr, bassist Tim White, and drummer Dale Harrison.

Best known for their raucous live performances, the band became one of the most commercially successful Canadian rock bands of the 1990s. Over their career the band enjoyed nationwide radio-play in Canada and had several Juno Award nominations. Their musicianship is typically tight and energetic, their music usually heavy and rough; lyrics range from break-ups to addiction, damnation to necrophilia.

The band signed to MCA Records in 1993 and released Picture of Health, with the original drummer Mark Gibson, but he left the band after touring for Picture of Health was over. Dale Harrison was recruited for the follow-up Teeth and Tissue in 1995. The band broke more ground in 1996 with Juno Award nominations for Best Group and Best Rock Album, while releasing Smile and Wave that same year. Three years passed before Nickels for Your Nightmares was released, in which time Carr and Harrison became fathers and Dillon recovered from a drug addiction. The band would release one more album, on BMG, entitled The Oracle of Hi-Fi, before a break up in 2003

Frontman Hugh Dillon has appeared in several films, including the mockumentary Hard Core Logo. He has also played a main role as one of the police officers in the popular show, Flashpoint, shown on CBS/CTV. He heads the Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir.

The original band members reunited in February 2011 for a mini tour. They released the album, titled Love + Fury, on 14 May 2013. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
