Bad Things To Such Good People

Bad Things To Such Good People - Manchester Orchestra/Julien Baker

Written by：David Shannon Bazan

My jail shoes on

The well kept cemetery lawn

Both of them weeping

Their one good son now was gone

The irony

To see my dad down on his knees

Crying out to Jesus

But Lord I've always done what's right

And all the while

The good Lord smiled

And looked the other way

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
