The Good Don't Last

Spock's Beard

I. Introduction



II. The Good Don't Last

We could have been God's dream

We could have lived the LIFE!

Could have done great things



Man, it would have been so nice

It could have been me

Could have been you

We could have done anything we wanted to do

Ant I don't know how it happened

But we got it all wrong

The bad don't mean anything

And the good don't last too long



We could have watched 'Black Like Me'

Instead we watched the big guns

And everybody knows the words

To "seasons in the sun"



Could have had give

Could have had take

We could've made anything we wanted to make

So we made 'Wheel Of Fortune'

And all the popular songs

We made a land where crap is king

And the good don't last too long



Now there's darkened doorways creaking in my bed

I got the Mannix theme song playing in my head

Put this one to bed



III. The Radiant Is

No Words

No denying

The Radiant is

Is still here

Watching

And multiplying

And it's not going to

Disappear
