All Good Boys

James

Its a boy, man-child,


a question of genes


body hair, deep voice


a handful of dreams





We don't get any older


we're still stuck in school





Never felt much love


until you came through


until you came through





All Good Boys


They follow their father in you


All good boys


They fought for you


They failed for you


All good boys





We can live with one another


brother kills his long lost brother


We can live with one another


brother kills his long lost brother





Little boys in charge


Don't know what to do


What a waste


so close


but sharing's taboo





We don't get any older


we're still stuck in school





We dont get any wiser


I'm still the same old mule


the same old mule





All Good Boys


They follow their father in you


All good boys


They fought for you


They failed for you


All good boys





The River, the river, the river runs through


from father to son


to tender the roots





The River, the river, the river runs through


from father to son


to tender the roots





All good boys


They fought for you


They failed for you





The River, the river, the river runs through


from father to son


to tender the roots





All good boys


They fought for you


They failed for you





The River, the river, the river runs through


from father to son


to tender the roots





All good boys


They fought for you


They failed for you





The River, the river, the river runs through


from father to son from father to son from father
