Good Boy Lyrics

You're gonna have to take him away, cause he don't wanna leave
Charlie's such a good boy, a good boy
Mamma's crying out, "Where's he hiding?"
Charlie's such a good boy, good boy.

And now he's sleeping at home in his rocket ship bed
Why does being good feel so damn bad?
He stares at a picture of his run away dad
shines his flashlight steady.
Kid, you're such an easy target, without a rebel bone.
You're so compliant, quiet as a stepping stone.
Did he give you the love you were yearning for? Did he give you what you need?

Have you heard the headlines on Blackberry street
There lived a kid out there in number 523
He came home smelling of old shaving cream
He began to act out.
He became a little devil, BB gun to the birds
and he spit out the F and the S and D-words
His mamma asked the priest and the priest replied,
"He used to be an angel, mam, Ya, I don't know why."

You can keep a secret right? Right. I can trust you with my life? Right.
I don't get no sleep at night, Night. You can keep a secret right?
