lyrics

1. Don’t smoke, drink, chew, or date girls who do.
Got a firm handshake and say please and thank you.
And I don’t play hooky and I never ate the glue.
If the good die young, then I’m probably overdue.
One bad apple might spoil the whole bunch
But one good egg can save your whole lunch.
I’m very rarely ticketed and never arrested.
Pretty good to be decent but it’s better to best it.
Some girls claim that they want a bad boy
Then they get one and he acts bad, they’re annoyed
Or worse, cheated on, beaten up, deep in debt
And us good kids are like, “You sick of bad boys yet?”
What I’m about to say don’t misconstrue.
But Eva Braun was into bad boys too.
I’m the young man you young men shoulda been.
I make them good girls gone bad wanna get good again.

Chorus: Good Kid.
I ain’t half bad.
How you gonna go and find fault with that?
’Cause I’m a Good Kid.
Not averse
To making you all you really bad kids look worse.
I’m a Good Kid.
I’m really this nice.
Huge Pops are my only vice.
I’m a Good Kid.
Good Kid. Good Kid.
But don’t push it.

2. Role model with a lot less pompous posturing.
A real boy scout without the bureaucracy.
Call me a suck-up, brown-noser, goody-goody:
I’m not as embarrassed as you seem to think I should be.
Rules were made to divide and assess us.
Spirit’s unwilling but my flesh acquiesces.
I dabbled in rebelling but I couldn’t get into it.
I guess I’m just a sucker for a good influence.
Don’t hate me just ’cause your parents like me.
Or begrudge me my well-adjusted psyche.
Don’t be surprised when attempts to tempt me
With run-of-the mill ills just come up empty.
Well-trained, well-maintained, well-behaved.
Mischief is the nearest thing to hell I raise.
It’ll take more than mere peer pressure to lure me
Into trouble. What? I’m a good kid, sue me.

Chorus: Good Kid.
Clean living.
Praise and approval are so bewitching.
I’m a Good Kid.
All in good fun.
You don’t have to sit in the soup kettle to cook some.
Good Kid.
Got guilt and doubt.
But you can’t, but you can’t keep a good kid down.
I’m a Good Kid.
Good Kid. Good Kid.
But don’t push it.
