Manchester Orchestra, Julien Baker - Bad Things to Such Good People lyrics

My jail shoes on the well-kept cemetery lawn
Both of them weeping
Their one good son now was gone (Ooh, ooh)
The irony to see my dad down on his knees
Crying out to Jesus
But Lord I've always done what's right
(Ooh, ooh)

And all the while the good Lord smiled
And looked the other way (Ooh, ooh)

When we were kids
I did my best to make them proud
It just wasn't in me
I could not fly straight to save my life

And all the while the good Lord smiled
And looked the other way

Their big success is now
Their biggest failure
Their golden child has been dethroned
Their reputation is now in ruins
Their tower to heaven has come tumbling down

And all the while the good Lord smiles
And looks the other way
And looks the other way
