A Good Man Lyrics by Semler

Preacher’s Kid

2021

[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
