What a Good Boy

[00:02]When I was born they looked at me and said

[00:07]What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy

[00:12]And when you were born they looked at you and said

[00:18]What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl

[00:23]We＇ve got these chains that hang around our necks

[00:28]People want to strangle us with them before we take our

[00:33]First breath

[00:34]Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same

When temptation calls we just look away

[02:06][00:46]This name is the hairshirt I wear

[02:09][00:49]And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair

[02:16][00:57]This song is the cross that I bear

[02:20][01:00]Bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me

[02:25][01:06]Be with me tonight

[01:12]I know that it isn＇t right

[01:17]But be with me tonight

I go to school, I write exams

If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out, does anyone give a damn?

And if they do, they＇ll soon forget

＇Cause it won＇t take much for me to show that my life ain＇t over yet

I wake up scared, I wake up strange

I wake up wondering if anything in my life

Is ever going to change

I wake up scared, I wake up strange

And everything around me stays the same

I couldn＇t tell you that I was wrong

Chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song

I couldn＇t tell you that you were right

So instead i looked in the mirror watched tv laid awake all night

When temptation calls...

hey
