Middle Class Rut - Good Man lyrics
[Middle Class Rut - Good Man lyrics]
I bet he was a good man
I never met him though
Just a story from a bad memory
It took a lifetime's sleep to form a man
Who would end up making me
The deeper you get
The more that it takes to feel
The more that you feel
The less you like yourself
I never thought that I had that
Much there to grip from
Stand right up and face what you've done
It ain't like you're the only one
You've taken more than you could ever give
You let the good one die and the bad one live
And now nobody wants a strong man
Hooray strong man
But a couple took the wrong side
They took the path to the wall
But the wall was their foundation
The deeper you get
The less you want to let go
Until you fuck up, then you want to let go
Most of the time
You put yourself first anyway
Stand right up and face what you've done
It ain't like you're the only one
You've taken more than you could ever give
You let the good one die and the bad one live
Right over here now, left and right
Make sure your conscious feels alright
Yeah fucking right
Stand right up and face what you've done
It ain't like you're the only one
You've taken more than you could ever give
You let the good one die and the bad one live
I bet he was a good man
I never met him though
Just a story from a bad memory
It took a lifetime's sleep to form a man
Who would end up making me
The deeper you get
The more that it takes to feel
The more that you feel
The less you like yourself
I never thought that I had that
Much there to grip from
Stand right up and face what you've done
It ain't like you're the only one
You've taken more than you could ever give
You let the good one die and the bad one live
And now nobody wants a strong man
Hooray strong man
But a couple took the wrong side
They took the path to the wall
But the wall was their foundation
The deeper you get
The less you want to let go
Until you fuck up, then you want to let go
Most of the time
You put yourself first anyway
Stand right up and face what you've done
It ain't like you're the only one
You've taken more than you could ever give
You let the good one die and the bad one live
Right over here now, left and right
Make sure your conscious feels alright
Yeah fucking right
Stand right up and face what you've done
It ain't like you're the only one
You've taken more than you could ever give
You let the good one die and the bad one live
I bet he was a good man
