Barenaked Ladies (BNL) - What A Good Boy songtekst
Je score:
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've got these chains hang around our necks People wanna 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 name is the hairshirt I wear And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair This song is the cross that I bear Bear it with me, bear 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 give a damn? And if they do, they'll soon forget 'Cause it won't take much for me to show 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 gonna change I wake up scared, I wake up strange And everything around me stays the same This name is the hairshirt I wear And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair This song is the cross that I bear Bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me Be with me tonight I know that it isn't right But be with me tonight I couldn't tell you 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, I watched TV, laid awake all night. We've got these chains, hang around our necks People wanna strangle us with them before we take our first breath Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same when temptation calls Oh, this name is the hairshirt I wear And this hairshirt is woven from, is woven from, is woven from hair This song is the cross that I bear Bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me Be with me tonight 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"
