What Was Good Enough For You

What was always good enough for you, Pa Hate to say, ain't good enough for me Ploughing fields and planting seeds 'Til your mind and body bleeds, no way Up before dawn, and you stop when you drop Then you ask your God to forgive Prayin' for rain, without rain there's no crop This ain't no way to live What was always good enough for you, Pa Will not satisfy your wayward son Jesse James had much more fun Buildin' dreams with just a gun That's how the west was won What was always good enough for you, Ma Gotta say, ain't good enough for me Makin' punch and bakin' pies Paintin' barns and swattin' flies... oh no Writin' a diary is tough around here Boring as hell - sorry Ma I wanna wear diamonds One stud for each ear Bright as the morning star What was always good enough for you, Ma Will not satisfy your little girl More to life than pottin' plants I don't wanna miss my chance I'm lookin' for romance This country's had it's day Depression and bread lines Are all that tomorrow will bring (Tell 'em, Clyde) The bible has got it wrong Just look at the poor, babe The meek don't inherit a thing There ain't nothin' good enough for us, kid We deserve all we are gonna get This world should be notified It'll be a bumpy ride Thanks to Bonnie and Clyde
