Re: DRH.146 - I Just Try to Be Good
Since the Pedro the Lion album feature is a concept album about a corrupt politician, I decided to post the lyrics here.
Slow and Steady Wins the Race All the way to grandma's house I stayed on the narrow path But my brother wandered off Deep into the woods Bitten twice by rattle snakes Tangled up in poison oak He fell down and broke his legs Into a great ravine When I arrived at grandma's house She made us tea and cake She asked me where my brother was I said I don't know and ate When I get to heaven I'll be greeted warmly Surrounded by angels As Jesus takes my hand I'll receive a mansion On the river Jordan And a crown of diamonds For a race well run I won't ever lock my doors I will trust my neighbors Confident that they deserve To be there in heaven, too Simple Economics The volunteers were tired Heads were hanging low The news had spoiled their appetite For stuffing envelopes Twelve points was an awful lot To be down in the polls With only two weeks to go Shouldering the phone Loosening his tie His running mate on pricks and pins Hovering beside The candidate wrote furiously As if to save his life Then hung up the phone And spoke with great conviction When you're nothing but a boyfriend Dangling by a thread Keep in mind the bottom line Diamonds are a girl's best friend Inches from the goal One thing on his mind To get behind her desk and make Some big decisions Power can be such a tease You're always wanting more It's good to know that just like sex It can be paid for To Protect the Family Name Officer Please don't haul me in Though I'm drunk again I can explain I swear to you For a week I have Been completely dry Until tonight He's been such a good example Everything he's done for me I couldn't bear to let him down Monday night Brother sat me down Very graciously And explained If I'm going to help you I must make it very clear Brother that I love you But certainly I hate your sin So you see you can't arrest me I swore I'd be careful not to Further shame the family name A Mind of Her Own Dear, unlock the door You're acting like a child When you've said it to yourself We are at war How dare you turn on me now Right when I need you most I wish I could have seen their faces When they heard the news Now that's the sort of smack That leaves a bruise The victory is ours at last I beat them at their own dirty game They pervert the words of godly men For their own selfish gain I took their wrong and I took their lies And I made them right, I made them right Oh, look who it is It's my supportive wife And she thinks she's going to squeal Hey where do you think you're going? Don't you walk away from me You put down that telephone You're not calling anyone Never Leave a Job Half Done Blood stains on the carpet Blood stains on my hands Drag her toward the kitchen Hide the evidence Oh the toil a lie can bring That quitters never know But lies can be the perfect things If they never show The crisis posed a question Just beneath the skin The virtue in my veins reply That quitters never win She almost ruined everything Eye on the Finish Line Such an awful, tragic night Though I've only done what's right Even with my conscience clear I can't help this flood of tears I've got my eye on the finish line Though I've been striving for their good I will be misunderstood Even my own darling dear Misconstrued what was so clear Given the time I think she would have understood That it was for the greater good Soon I will meet her at our mansion in the sky Leaving this wicked world behind It's strange that it should end this way But martyrs never have a say Bad Things to Such Good People My dress 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 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 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 Winners Never Quit If at first you don't succeed Try, try again If I were you I'd give up The path is too narrow The way is too steep Save your applause For the end of the show Count it a blessing That you're such a failure Your second chance might Never have come

Re: DRH.146 - I Just Try to Be Good
In Mississippi, we dip cookies in milk, and tea is served sweet and cold.
