A Good Life

Open the conversation
Hearing what they say
Baby I'm ashamed
And oh, I can't explain
Why I feel this way

Ashamed of my toleration
Love will turn away
In my life I wanna teach you what's right
So you won't be the same

And I get scared for the world you were born into
Where the good deeds get lost in time
And I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you
The good life

Take all your resolutions
And hold them near
As we began
Bringing in another new year

And turn off the television
Become who you are
All I can do is promise you
A better start

And I get scared for the world you were born into
Where the good deeds get lost in time
And I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you
The good life

And I get scared for the world you were born into
While you stand wide eyed in the doorway
Are you fooled to believe I promised you
The good life

And I get scared for the world you were born into
Where the good deeds get lost in time
And I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you
The good life

And I get scared for the world you were born into
While you stand wide eyed in the doorway
Are you fooled to believe I promised you
The good life
