Track 7 of Patrick Porter's ‘A Swan At Smiley’s’ LP
lyrics
NOT VERY GOOD
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter, C. 2007)
Any way you slice it I'm just not very good
If there's a way to fuck it up, baby I always will
I try to be a good person but I don't try very hard
I can stoop lower than a pigeon pecking garbage in the park
Any way you cut it I'm just not very nice
If there's a way to wreck the train I'll ride it off the rails with style
I wrote 'REPENT' on the side of a garbage can
It was the least I could do to pretend I'm a Christian man
Oooh, oooh
I'm not very good
I'm not very good
I'm not very good
