Life threw away his ideals
Now he finds himself believing
Work from the dawn 'till the day
That his memory fades
So he said
"Boy, don't you slide down this river
There are a lot of things to say, but we don't
Tried my best to hide it
Oh no, there's no lying
Boy, don't you try to be good"
Love ran away
But his job stayed the same
Oh every day, hope made him stay
But it also made his dreams turn grey
So he said
"Boy, don't you slide down this river
There are a lot of things to say, but we don't
Tried my best to hide it
Oh no, there's no lying
Boy, don't you try to be good"
So he said
"Boy
Don't you be good
All of my emotions will never be understood"
Oh no no no no my boy
Don't you be good
All of my emotions will never be understood
So he said
"Boy, don't you slide down this river
There are a lot of things to say, but we don't
Tried my best to hide it
Oh no, there's no lying
Boy, don't you try to be
Boy, don't you try to be good
There are a lot of things to say, but we don't
Tried my best to hide it
Oh no, there's no lying
Boy, don't you try to be good"
