I'm a Good Boy

(Julia Massey)
they've told me to stop
being so bad
but i can't help but feel
like pretending i'm mad
cause i see their side
even though i'm a child
so i'll teach them this lesson
before the anger gets piled
in a heap
fast asleep
like a chest full of sad, and
unwanted toys
cause i know,
i'm a good boy,
i'm a good boy,
i'm a good boy,
i'm a good boy

the thoughts in my head
and the things that i see
keep me from wanting
what's better for me
cause now i'm aware
that they've set me apart
and it's hard to break out
of a jail that's inside your heart

when you're young and somebody's son
and the holes in your heart
crave the feeling of joy
but i know
i'm a good boy
deep down i know
i'm a good boy
i'm a good boy

i'm as sad as a snake
who's lost its first skin
and nobody showed how
to grow it again
the haiku i wrote you
it goes this way:
we all think we all
have somebody who loves us
but mine went away
but mine went away
but mine went away

when people don't know
where they belong
the things that they do
are gonna seem wrong
and they're not alone
in thinking those thoughts
they hear it the loudest
when the inner voice talks

but when i wake up
from a beautiful dream
i forget my own self
and turn into a tree
into a tree
into a tree for a snake
full of joy cause i know
i'm a good boy
i'm a good boy
i'm a good boy
i'm a good boy
