Laments Of A Good Man Lyrics - Play.rock.music - The Toadies

Well you've got the kind of secret 

That you can't afford to tell 

So you gave it up to Jesus 

But he's dragging you to hell 

And you don't know what to make 

Of all the darkness in your head 

So you pray and then you cry 

And then you work until you're dead 

Now you've got the car, you've got the house 

You've got the job, you've got the spouse 

You hate your job, you hate your wife 

There's nothing on TV tonight 

You back is sore, your eyes are red 

The voices screaming in your head 

You went to see your doctor 

This is what the doctor said:

It's so hard, it's so hard 

It's so hard, to be a man 

To be a good man 

So hard, so hard 

So hard, to be a man 

To be a good man 

So you take the children to the mall 

And send them on their way 

You can say your cash is fleeting 

But you know you're gonna pay 

When they get home they turn around 

They're off to see their friends 

And they'll smoke some pot 

And god knows what, until the party ends 

The wife is at the salon 

Getting pretty for her man 

But her tits are fake, and so's her tan 

Her hips are taking all the care 

You see her body in your bed 

And still the voices in your head 

You went to see your therapist 

And this is all he said: 

Photos 

It's so hard, it's so hard 

It's so hard, to be a man 

To be a good man 

It's so hard, it's so hard 

It's so hard, to be a man 

To be a good man 

The weekend comes 

You grab your clubs 

You're off to play the links 

So now's your chance to be yourself 

With friends and cars and drinks 

When you get home, you're all alone 

The wife and kids are gone 

Where you can get some thinking done 

In a silent peaceful home 

But on the kitchen table 

There's a note from her that reads 

"You're never home, I'm so alone 

I'm taking everything" 

You start to tremble then the tears 

You haven't felt alive in years 

You think your life is over 

But it's really starting here
