The Good Son Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

One more man gone, one more man gone, one more man 

One more man gone, one more man gone, one more man 

One more man gone, one more man gone, one more man is gone 

Well the good son walks into the field 

He is a tiller and he has a tiller's hand 

But deeper down in his heart now 

But he's lays down his queer plans 

Against his brother and against his family 

Yet he worships his brother 

And he worships his mother 

But it's his father, he says "Is an unfair man" 

The good son 

The good son 

The good son 

The good son has sat and often wept 

Beneath a malign star by which the good son kept 

And the night time in which he's wrapped 

Speaks of good now and it speaks of evil 

And he calls to his mother, and he calls to his father 

But they are deaf in the shadows of his brother's truancy 

The good son 

Well the good son 

The good son 

The good son 

And he curses his mother, and he curses his father 

And he curses his virtue like an unclean thing 

The good son 

Well the good son 

And the good son 

One more man gone, one more man gone, one more man 

One more man gone, one more man gone, one more man 

One more man gone, one more man gone, one more man 

One more man gone, one more man gone, one more man
