Good For You Lyrics & Chords By The Beat Farmers

I'm tired of this stupid ol' town
And what it hasn't done for me
It's kinda dumb to be hangin' around
When I should try and find what I should be
'Cause just maybe what I could be is good
And that'd be good for me
Then I could be good for you
You've gotta look real hard to find some purity
'Cause there's not that much on these city streets
People workin' real hard at having nothin' to give
Not too much emotion, just live and let live
We all keep ourselves in a shell
And everyone of us looks like hell
Maybe we're there, it's hard to tell sometimes
I should open my eyes and look for something good
Treat somebody kind like I know I should
And open my mind just like I wish I could
'Cause that'd be good for me
And that'd be good for you
You could be the one that the neighborhood watches
Maybe I should be a little more cautious
Instead of walkin' right up and just talkin' to you
I think I'll stand in the shadows and watch what you do
It's not that you would do any harm
But I can't let some stranger charm me
You might push some secret alarm on me
It's hard to trust someone that you don't know
Excuse me please, 'cause I better go
I could be late for some kind of show or a scene
That'd be good for me
'Cause that'd be good for you
And that'd be good for everybody
