Lyrics Good Man - David Wilcox

Good Man

Let me apologize in advance
For the way my friend behaves
He’ll pick a fight and take a holy stance
He’s so proud that he’s so saved
I hope you don’t judge Jesus
By the things my friend will say
He holds a bible like a dagger
And he twists it just that way
He just loves conversation — like a cat loves a bird
I guess he’s always been a good man — in the worst sense of the word
The good knights went out to save the day
In the age of the crusades
A sharp sword on a tortured soul
They were sure the point was made
Any tool can be a weapon
If it’s used with that intent
The devil’s great at quoting scripture
And confusing what it meant
So all the evils done for Jesus — it is a history so absurd
But there will always be a good man — in the worst sense of the word
They 'jacked a plane to make a sneak attack
They were trained to die in flames
Their last words were to God above
Just to praise His holy name
For all the terror and destruction
They felt no sense of shame
You gotta wonder why religion
Can make people so insane
But their devotion was unquestioned — follow straight and never swerve
The devil always needs a good man — in the worst sense of the word
