Good Man Lyrics

He said to me

We don't need another singer

We need a good man

And a good plan

We need a leader

I said it seems

I don't know what you mean

What is a good man

Or a good plan

Will I know it when I see it

Good man, Good man

What am I to do

Just to live my life

As good as you

Good man, Good man

What am I to say

Just to make these evil

Thoughts go away

The old man replied

If you open your eyes

You'll see a kind man

And a wise man

If he says it, he's gonna do it

I did reply

I've told too many lies

I'm not a good man

Or a good friend

So I'll just step aside

Good man, Good man

What am I to do

Just to live my life

As good as you

Good man, Good man

What am I to say

Just to make these evil

Thoughts go away

Laughing he said

If that's all it takes

There's not a good man

Or a good friend

Left in this place

Wondering I asked

Then what does it take

Cause I'm bitter

And I'm angry

At all my mistakes

Good man, Good man

What am I to do

Just to live my life

As good as you

Good man, Good man

What am I to say

Just to make these evil

Thoughts go away

He leaned back his head

I caught what he said

But then he stumbled

And he tumbled

Until he was dead

And the sirens bled

And the ambulance arrived

I was pacing that pavement

Just trying to analyze

With his final breath

He must have lied

Cause the words he said

They just can't be right

I've been over them, over them

Every night

He said a good man lives

If he learns how to die

How can a good man live

When he learns how to die
