Lyrics

All Good Boys

Its a boy, man-child

A question of genes

Body hair, deep voice

A handful of dreams

We don't get any older

We're still stuck in school

Never felt much love

Until you came through

Until you came through

All Good Boys

They follow their father in you

All good boys

They fought for you

They failed for you

All good boys

We can live with one another

Brother kills his long lost brother

We can live with one another

Brother kills his long lost brother

Little boys in charge

Don't know what to do

What a waste

So close

But sharing's taboo

We don't get any older

We're still stuck in school

We dont get any wiser

I'm still the same old mule

The same old mule

All Good Boys

They follow their father in you

All good boys

They fought for you

They failed for you

All good boys

The River, the river, the river runs through

From father to son

To tender the roots

The River, the river, the river runs through

From father to son

To tender the roots

All good boys

They fought for you

They failed for you

The River, the river, the river runs through

From father to son

To tender the roots

All good boys

They fought for you

They failed for you

The River, the river, the river runs through

From father to son

To tender the roots

All good boys

They fought for you

They failed for you

The River, the river, the river runs through

From father to son from father to son from father
