Good Kid

Six schools in six years Been kicked out of every place Everything I ever do is wrong Never find where I belong Everybody on my case The same old story The same old song "Don't act up, don't act out Be strong" I keep my head down I keep my chin up But it ends up all the same With "Pack your bags, Percy You're always to blame." I never try to do anything I never mean to hurt anyone I try, I try to be a good kid A good kid A good son But no one ever will take my side All I ever do is take the fall I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid Guess I'm good for nothing at all Gabe was a world class jerk Dad was never there The only family that really mattered? Well, she vanished into the air And now I finally find a haven Someplace safe, where I can stay 'Till it's "Pack your bags, Percy Now go, go away!" I never try to do anything I never mean to hurt anyone I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid Yeah, Percy, that's a good one But no one ever will take my side All I ever do is take the fall I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid Guess I'm good for nothing at- All the schools in six years Every battle, every day No one ever tells me that they're proud No one asks me "Percy, how'd you like to come round and stay?" All you get are bad grades And a bum rap And a bad rep And a good smack And no friends And no hope And no mom- She's taken away I swear I never stole anything I never meant to hurt anyone I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid A good kid, who's had a bad run And all I need is one last chance To prove I'm good enough for someone I'm good enough for someone I'm good enough for someone (Six schools in six years) I'm good enough for someone (Six schools in six years)
