A Good Man
by Semler

Album: Preacher's Kid

Verse 1
If there's a good man in you, you killed him today
Took him out for a drink and then you put him in his grave
Drove him outside of town, far away from his house
So when the bullet rang out, no one else heard a sound
If there's a good man in you, he's dead in the dirt
But he'll be survived by the people he hurt
And they'll gather in masses, for him, they will mourn
A prodigal son from the day you were born

Chorus
Ooh, what have you become?
Ooh, you were your mother's son
Ooh, this world is cruel, I know
Ooh, I wish it spared you
In with a cry and out with a gun

Verse 2
If there's a good man in you, you killed him again
You poisoned the well of someone you called a friend
I think you'd rather they hate you, but I don't think they do
They're just sad you keep killin' the good man in you

Chorus
Ooh, what have you become?
Ooh, you were your mother's son
Ooh, this world is cruel, I know
Ooh, I wish it spared you
In with a cry and out, oh, with a gun

Bridge
God as my witness, I hate to see you this way
And I believe in forgiveness, but I don't know if people can change
You tell me, you tell me

Chorus
Ooh, what have you become?
Ooh, you were your mother's son
Ooh, and this world is cruel, I know
Ooh, I wish it spared you
In with a cry and out with a gun
