Barenaked Ladies "What A Good Boy" |
When I was born they looked at me and said what a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy, When you were born, they looked at you and said what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, We got these chains hanging round our necks people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath Afraid of change afraid of staying the same when temptation calls we just look away. This chain is the hairshirt I wear and this hearshirt is woven from your brown hair This song is the cross that I bear Bear it with me , bear it with me, bear with me Be with me tonight I know that it isn't right but be with me tonight I go to school I write exams If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out does anyone really give a damn And if they do they'll soon forget cuz' it won't take much for me to show my life ain't over yet I wake up scared I wake up strange and I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever gonna change I wake up scare I wake up strange and everything around me stays the same chorus 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 we've got these chains hanging around our necks people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath afraid of change, afraid of staying the same when temptation calls.... chorus when i was born they looked at me and said what a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy and when you were born they looked at you and said what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
